About Dolly Mixture
Dolly Mixture was a British post-punk band from Cambridge formed in 1978 by bassist and vocalist Debsey Wykes, guitarist Rachel Bor (sister of Andrew Bor of The Users), and drummer Hester Smith. They started out as complete amateurs (rumour has it that they first got involved into the music business as the then girlfriends of The Damned members). However, they soon proved to be one of the most talented new-wave pop acts. Although they had their taste of Top 40 success as the backing vocals for Captain Sensible's hit Wot, as a band they remained criminally neglected by the media and the general public alike.
Their music was more poppy than post-punk contemporaries such as Gang of Four. Near the end of their run, the group self-released a double album of demo tracks, re-released in 1995 as Demonstration Tapes. The group disbanded in 1983.
Debsey Wykes later collaborated with Saint Etienne, and went on to form Birdie, releasing two albums in the early 2000s.
