The Divinyls weren't one-hit wonders...

Maybe they were in the US, but not here. I was 'like you couldn't see that one coming' when it came to Kurt Cobain, but with Chrissie Amphlett, even though I knew she was sick, it affected me when she died. I got drunk that night and sat and watched 'Monkey Grip' and shed a few tears.

So, here's some songs that show The Divinyls were so, so much more than 'I Touch Myself', starting with my favourite...













Yay! Buffy!

And here's Monkey Grip if anyone's interested. I remember having an OMFG!!! moment when I watched it back in 1982 coz of the Nonie Hazelhurst nude scene while she was hosting Playschool. I mean, it was 1982, after all...



RIP Chrissie
