Wendy James

Wendy James is a British rock vocalist and songwriter who first grabbed attention as the fiery frontwoman of Transvision Vamp, the late-'80s/early-'90s alt-rock act known for hits like "Baby I Don't Care." After the band dissolved, she carved out a gutsy solo career marked by collaborations with punk royalty like Lenny Kaye (Patti Smith Group) and Glen Matlock (Sex Pistols). Her recent work – including 2023’s *The Shape of History* and 2022’s *Queen High Straight* – shows she’s still got that rebel swagger, blending garage rock energy with sharp storytelling. Tracks like "Do You Dig It Do You Love It Is It Groovy" and the raw *Racine 1 Demos* highlight her knack for crafting catchy, attitude-driven tunes that feel both nostalgic and freshly combative. Whether she’s revving up gritty rockers or sliding into bluesy grooves ("Kill Some Time Blues"), James remains a magnetic force who refuses to fade into the background.
