Additional information about the item.
Nina Hagen Das - El Mocambo I cant speak to the 80's as I was still in the UK but in the early 90's; finding Women in the male-dominated "traditional" Toronto Punk Scene was like spotting a Unicorn. With the exception of Chicken Milk every other band we played with was male.
Along with it came the assumptions we must be looking to get laid and the musician part clearly secondary. No men got laid as a result of this band, sorry fella's! (It should be noted that several men, including those who invited us to play gigs, were extremely respectful and supportive and I think frankly excited to see the scene become more inclusive)
As a result of the NHD several of our equally talented female friends also went on to form their own Punk bands, relinquishing their former roles of "audience member" at BFG, Armed & Hammered & Random Killing gigs.
Ginny was older than us and not only the best punk drummer I'd played with to date but the only female one ever and continued after we dis-banded. Preston also went on to play in several punk bands, but even back in his early days there was a melodic sensibility to his Bass playing that helped us stand out and that I really enjoyed. Christine became another fixture in the scene, she also played the saxophone making us stand out further as well as opening up the possibility of true to form X-Ray Spex covers (Identity). We also covered Nina Hagen (Smack Jack), Ramones (Warthog), Ice T / Bodycount (Cop Killer) as well as our own original material.
Our only recording was laid down live to tape in 1 take, while sharing a rehearsal space with Mourning Sickness, in the garage at Kathedral B in May 1993. - "Plastic Doll" clearly demonstrates the early presence of gender-queer and non-binary identities in the Toronto Scene, and speaks to the confusion / resigned loneliness of attempting to navigate as such, in a pre-internet world where you simply "did not exist", let alone expect to one day find your "Others" and be allowed to occupy those spaces outside the gender binary.
Shortly after it's recording I opted to leave the punk scene and pursue a new direction opened up to me by a second band I was now in... Mourning Sickness. The rest is MISS-tory and it's time to correct that.

Additional information about the item.
About 2 years after I arrived in Toronto having deserted Thatchers England for a better life, I began playing in the 2 bands that undoubtedly saved my literal life at the time, by providing an outlet and something to lose myself in, during a very turbulent and intense period of adjustment to my new surroundings and it's accompanying pile of devastating setbacks, because wherever you go there you are.
Music was my girlfriend.
Initially The Nina Hagen Das rehearsed in my garage at 778 Crawford Street (The Dyke House), with Mourning Sickness rehearsing 2 doors down at Kathedral B (The Anarchist House). We could hear each other rehearsing on what was otherwise, a quite traditionally "older European family" street! My first friendship at Kathedral B was with one of their fierce, scrappy, old tom cats "Rex" - before meeting the reamaining occupants and eventually sharing the Kathedral B rehearsal space.
