Dead Famous People are a New Zealand indie pop band formed in Auckland, active from the latter half of the 1980s onward. Dead Famous People are still active today, Savage using various collaborators, with a new album being recorded in Auckland New Zealand, following an extended break taken to raise her son, Harry. HistoryThe band formed in 1986 and comprised Dons Savage (vocals), Elizabeth (Biddy) Leyland (keyboards and vocals), Wendy Kjestrup (guitar and vocals), Jenny Renals (bass guitar) and Robyn Tearle (drums).[1] After a couple of releases in New Zealand, including an EP on Flying Nun Records, giving them some success in their homeland, they relocated to London, where they signed for Billy Bragg's Utility Records label, with Gill Moon replacing Tearle.[2] Utility issued the band's Arriving Late in Torn and Filthy Jeans mini-LP in 1989, and it became the label's biggest-selling release.[2] They received regular airplay from John Peel and recorded a session for his BBC Radio 1 show in 1989.[3] The band split up in mid-1990. Savage joined Saint Etienne on their cover version of The Field Mice's "Let's Kiss and Make Up", and subsequently recorded as a solo artist, as did Leyland.[1] Savage also provided backing vocals on The Chills' "Heavenly Pop Hit".[4] The band contributed a version of "True Love Leaves No Traces" to the 1991 Leonard Cohen tribute album I'm Your Fan.[5] Savage continues with the Dead Famous People name, with various collaborators, and another album, Secret Girls Business, was issued in 2002, featuring six previously-unreleased tracks. Dead Famous People are due to release a 10 song album in 2019, recorded in Auckland and released on Fire records UK. DiscographySingles, EPs
