Toyah

The Dark Souls II of 80’s alternative / mainstream music. Forget the current YouTube output, there was some mighty fine stuff there. I bought the Anthem album when it released and still think she had some moments that stand up. Dark Pop, colourful, lots of genuine energy. Creative beyond music, and perhaps overlooked for reasons I don’t fully understand.

Second gig I ever went to was the Toyah night of this. Somehow never clicked with her music though tbh.
