Cay live at the Reading Festival

[@garydiamondguitarist]

Loved and still love Cay's music. Anet was a total sweetheart as well - I spoke to her twice, once after a gig in Portsmouth Pyramids I think, around 1999 supporting Feeder, and to kid me she said some inspiring things. Years later when I worked in Denmark Street (2004 maybe) I met her again and we had a more in-depth conversation. As coincidence would have it, i had the CAY t-shirt from their album (yellow text) on it, think I'd bought that at the gig years previously. Honestly really liked her, thought her voice was awesome, and most of Nature Creates Freaks still holds up including the mighty title track. One of the few post-grunge outfits I thought who added something to rock music rather than just repeat bits of it. It's sad she passed - crippling addiction to heroin I suppose, from the little knowledge that I can gather about it. Band name, for anyone who doesn't know it, came from their song Cool As You, something about booking a gig and not having a band name so Anet made one from the initials of the song title. Probably read that in Kerrang! and a lot of this is pre internet archiving I reckon...

Thanks for your reminiscences. The suggestion from wikipedia is that Anet's death was not caused by her substance issues. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cay_(band)
