Dolly Mixture


Main image

British post-punk band formed in 1978 by bassist and vocalist Debsey Wykes, guitarist Rachel Bor, and drummer Hester Smith. They started out as complete amateurs (popular rumour had it that they first got involved into the music business as the then girlfriends of The Damned members, though it was only Rachel Bor and Captain Sensible who were a couple). Although they had their taste of Top 40 success as the backing vocals for the Captain Sensible's hit Wot, as a band they remained neglected by the media and the general public alike. In 1984, near the end of their run, the group self-released a double album of demo tracks, which was re-released in 1995.
