DHK

Following on from an ill-fated reunion album The Mixers spent most of 1995 recording, Dannie Vallely, Ron Bookless and Grant Morrison took up the name Daisyhead, becoming first The Daisyhead Collective, then DiskoHead Kollective before settling on DHK. One of the band's early songs - I'm A Policeman - appeared on the Disco 2000 compilation (remixed into unrecognisability by the Slam boys), after which Grant was dropped, leaving Dannie and Ron as a duo. They were signed by Invicta Hi-Fi in 1998, contributing a track to the Special Skool compilation and releasing a single - Girlarella - which they promoted with an appearance at an In The City event in Liverpool. By this time Ulric Kennedy had joined for live appearances and work on an LP began in earnest. After a further gig in Glasgow - bizarrely supporting Star Trek's Tuvac - Ron retired from the music business, leaving Dannie in control of DHK. The album DHKHQ was completed (with Ulric playing on many tracks), but so far remains unreleased.
