'Biography' Devon Disaster explodes the stage with her anti-everything antics, raping the audience in a maniacally masturbational movement best described as de facto, electrash. Her unpredictability ensures the disintegration of status-quo and leaves her fans perversely pleading for more. Her style is Missing Persons meets Blondie and Too Short's bastard son in a blood-stained back alley for unsolicited fornication. Best known for her extensive collaboration with Shawn Foree of Digital Leather, and their love child The Cutters, Devon Disaster opens doors to a feeling one could only hope to ever be consumed by.
After her work on Digital Leather's highly anticipated "Sorcerer," mastered by Goner/Shattered Records label mate Jay Reatard, and two European tours under her belt she is now equipped with latex, lube, and a 10" vinyl with Red Lounge Records (Karlsruhe, Germany) featuring the title track, "Make Things Bleed," "So So Sad," and the pornographic pedantic that is "Little Girl." Devon Disaster hits Europe again, with an all-star line-up, in October 2008, and next year will be touring Mexico and Australia. Known for turning down American tours, one can only wonder if The United States will ever be able to comfortably digest her no-wave, forcefully filthy, disco-thrash sound that barely encompasses what is the whole of Ms. Disaster.
