Now picture this,
I'm driving to work in Phoenix Arizona listening to the local "Alternative"
station (who are more repetative than JJJ, if thats possible).
Anyway they they say, now for this weeks Foreign Exchange song, "we travel to
Melbourne Australia for a singer called "Carmen Someoneorother" (can't remember
what he said) who is actually Fiona Horne pretending to be a Brazillian gypsy."
The song then was a version of The Presidents of the USA's Peaches, in a
cabaret style!!!

When was this recorded, is it true and why did she do it??

If this is all we can expect from Fiona post DEF-FX then COME BACK SEAN!!!!!

Have *you* ever seen Fiona Horne and Magarita Prakatan (sp?) in the same room
at the same time? Scary, no?

Hmm, curious.

I dunno... I've always wanted to hear Def FX cover something really
cheezy (but peaches isn't really cheezy, it's really crappy :).

Cheers,

The radio station has mislead you slightly.

The record is by Pastel Vespa, who is actually a Sydney singer named Fiona
*Thorn*. It's from a 5-track CD in which, amongst other things, she tackles
the Sex Pistols "Anarchy In The UK", in cabaret style, in French. :)

It was recorded live at Sydney's Lyric Theatre. And yes, it's bizarre. :-)
