“Chaos And Wonder”

Donnette Thayer went west for college and when the Colorado-born Thayer arrived at UC Davis with veterinary aspirations she found a thriving arts community that she fell right into. She’d played classical music growing up, but suddenly found herself fronting alternative bands like X-Men, The Veil and No Matter What. She guested on Game Theory’s Blaze of Glory and then joined the band full-time in 1986. She was in the band for the Lolita Nation and Two Steps From The Middle Ages albums before she left in 1988. That same year she formed Hex with Steve Kilbey of The Church and put out two marvelous albums–the self-titled debut and the swooning follow up Vast Halos. Thayer put out a solo album called Chaos and Wonder and then what? Well, I’ll have her fill in the gaps and bring you up to date. But let me say this about Donnette–her voice is a breathtaking blend of beauty and finesse and it swirls through the compositions with a beguiling and airy command. She’s a marvelous musician and an absolutely lovely person.
