Chatelaine is the solo project of former Curve lead vocalist, Toni Halliday.
Halliday served as the lead singer and co writer of Curve from 1990 to 31 January 2005. The group released a number of singles, EPs, and full-length albums; the latter include the following: Doppelgänger (1992), Cuckoo (1993), Come Clean (1998), Open Day at the Hate Fest (2001), Gift (2001), The New Adventures of Curve (2002), and the compilation The Way of Curve (2004).
During and since her time in Curve, Halliday has enjoyed successful collaborative stints with the likes of Leftfield (having notably co-written and performed on "Original" for their Leftism LP), Future Sound of London, Paul Van Dyke, Recoil (Ex-Depeche Mode's Alan Wilder) and most recently, the Killers' Christmas Charity single ("A Great Big Sled"). Halliday's work has been featured in numerous films, trailers, and adverts, often having been commissioned by the likes of Greg Araki and other contemporary directors and composers.
Ms. Halliday is currently recording for her new project, Chatelaine slated for a 2008 release.
Can't wait for the Chatelaine album Toni. Also checked out Angela McCluskey and I like her stuff, will look forward to hear what music you make together!
Would I buy the album? Hell yes! I'm one of those obsessive guys who buys anything and everything with the name tag Toni Halliday (in all available formats).
