Biography
Initially a solo project for former Bananarama star Siobhan Fahey, session singer and former Bob Seger and Eric Clapton band member Marcella Detroit joined Fahey in 1988. Named after The Smiths song, the duo were spurred on by Fahey's then husband Dave Stewart, scoring a Top 10 hit with the single You're History and reaching Number 9 in the UK album charts with debut Sacred Heart (1989). Their vampish, guitar pop produced the huge hit single Stay in 1992, topping the UK charts for 8 weeks and featured the brilliantly bizarre video of the band on the moon; Siobhan dressed as gothic she-devil fighting with Marcella over a comatose man. Follow-up hits I Don't Care and Hello (Turn Your Radio On) propelled second album Hormonally Yours (1992) to double platinum status and the ladies headlined 1992's Glastonbury Festival. Marcella left in 1993 but Siobhan continues to record sporadic solo material under the band's name, most recently on the album Songs from the Red Room (2009).
