Mini Biography

Born in Texas in the 20th Century, Miss Norvell has been a poet, singer, artist, film producer, rag seller, actress, art dealer, bartender and wife. While making films in LA, she met Kid Congo Powers (Nick Cave, Gun Club, Cramps, Khan) at the deathbed of a mutual friend, and the group Congo Norvell was born. Both Norvell and Powers had been noticed & cast by Wim Wenders (Paris, Texas & Wings of Desire), so the marriage of noir drama and music was immediately established. After several recordings and American & European tours (including East & West coast dates with Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds), the duo relocated to New York City. They collaborated with Mark Eitzel, Foetus, Mick Harvey (Bad Seeds, PJ Harvey) and various members of underground NYC (Calla, Gogol Bordello, The Vanity Set, Firewater, etc.). Coming out of the shadows, Miss Norvell recorded a track for the Tom Waits tribute, "New Coat of Paint" (Manifesto, 2000), and released "Romanticism is ultimately fatal" (Tongue Master, 2001), a single released in the UK, marking shy cameos after her last full-length release "Abnormals Anonymous" (Jetset, 1997). Now in the infancy of the 21st Century, Miss Norvell is poised to reign supreme in the new generation of experimental cabaret with her tear-stained solo act.
