[CRAZY-HORSE]

DIVINYLS "greatest hits" cd, 2006

career stats:
studio albums......5
singles................25

this album...............#50 AU

1980s-90s Aussie rock band fronted by the sometimes controversial female singer Chrissy Amphlett...
songs were often a bit confrontational with their subject matter from domestic violence,female masturbation,prostitution,alcoholism etc etc
all that with Chrissy dressing in a school girl outfit with stockings and suspenders,stillettos,bright red lipstick and pouting sensually...
these guys(and gal) only had a couple of big hits here and really only one hit outside of Australia(i touch myself)...
not a great rockband by anymeans but they did make a few very good singles during their time...
this album released to coincide with their induction into the Australian 'r+r hallof fame'....
vocalist Amphlett died less than twelve months ago at her home in NYC from breast cancer...she was unable to have treatment for it due to her chronic MS illness...
the song "i touch myself" has now been used as the official tune in adverts for breast cancer awareness campaigns here in Australia
