Born in Los Angeles early this century, Devon Thompson’s earliest memory is punching through a pane of glass, just to see if she could. Growing up feeling like an outsider, Devon found her home listening to music. Early Siouxsie Sioux, The Animals, The Cramps, Bill Evans and The Beatles all permeated her developmental years and, by the age of 19, she already had extensive experience of playing Los Angeles club venues with her bands. Exemplified by recent singles “I Love You But It Hurts Like Hell” and “Poison Me,” Devon’s recordings are thus far lingering with the bel canto of Roy Orbison, the delicacy of Harriet Wheeler, and the sheer aggression of PJ Harvey.
