ex-Marc Almond

Anni Hogan (as she is currently billed in DIVA) is a British musician, composer and Club DJ, born in 1961. Originally known for her association with British Electro artist-cum-torch singer Marc Almond, Hogan now collaborates with a diverse variety of artists including Rachel McFarlane and Cagedbaby.
Hogan (then as Annie Hogan) first came to prominence as musician in the bands Marc Almond and the Willing Sinners and Marc and the Mambas, the latter also featuring The The's Matt Johnson alongside Marc Almond. After these bands were disbanded Hogan continued to work closely with Almond, on such albums as 1988's The Stars We Are, until the early 1990s. At this point she left Marc Almond's backing band and MD role, and founded the ambient-indie-dance band Cactus Rain. Signing to Virgin Records offshoot Ten the band released an album as well as singles Till Comes The Morning Comes and Mystery Train.
Cold Spring Records are releasing Hogan's 1987 EP Kickabye, originally on the (now defunkt) Doublevision label. Hogan is releasing a new album along with the EP.
