I posted this on another RUclips video but I reckon it deserve a copy/paste... 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 was wearing 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...
Hi Gary. I originally posted this video but have long since lost the login details… Thanks for the post. It’s always great to hear from other fans who love this band. They cast a big shadow in their relatively short time as a group. I heard Anet died after being struck I by a tram or train in her home city of Amsterdam. Mark Bullock (original drummer) said that she was sober and of sound mind at the time. Have you heard the five track mini album that is on their band camp page. Serves as a fitting send off for the group. All the best
@@slavinicus After Cay Split - due to drug abuse and conflicts in the band - Anet completely fell off the radar for the next decade. Apparently she moved back to the Netherlands at one point, where she got hit by a train and died on June 15th 2020. One of her former band members wrote an interesting blog post about the band and Anet's death, back in the day.

Any chance you can get the DVD footage on RUclips? There is so little footage of this band, it would be fantastic to see more. They were so unique.

Excellent band. Rest in Peace Anet
