Dominique Davalos is American rock singer and bass player[1] formerly in the band Dominatrix, whose controversial music video single "The Dominatrix Sleeps Tonight," released in 1984, was deemed too racy for its time. The song's video, directed by Beth B., featured a fur and stocking-clad Dominique, and it was the imagery in the video set against the subject matter of the song that prevented it from becoming a mainstream success. Commercial radio stations banned the single, and MTV refused to air the risque video. In 2012, the video was placed on display in the contemporary art wing of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.[citation needed]

Music

Dominique worked with former Go-Go Kathy Valentine under the name The Delphines. They released two albums: The Delphines (1996) and Cosmic Speed (2001).

They are currently touring the United States to support this latest release. Dominique and Kathy also play in the band Lady Band Johnson with Johnny Goudie.

Dominique is currently writing, singing and playing bass for her other Austin Texas born band SuperEtte who released their second EP When People Are Cold And Hard And Hate in 2016. The first EP Yours Til The End was released in 2014. Dominique is currently writing and singing in an all-female rock band called Dogs and Diamonds in Austin, TX. Dogs and Diamonds formed in the summer of 2016.

As a bass player she has played bass for The Keenen Ivory Wayans Show, Tito & Tarantula, and Gods Hotel Featuring Spike from The Quireboys.
