The Coconuts

"Solo" spinoff of Kid Creole And The Coconuts. The original Coconuts, a collection of glamorous and often skimpily-attired female backing vocalists, were led by Darnell's then-wife Adriana "Addy" Kaegi, who also served as the choreographer and costume designer of the Coconuts. Early recordings featured a Coconuts lineup of Kaegi, Cheryl Lee Poirier, Fonda Rae, and Lourdes Cotton; Lori Eastside was also a Coconut on a handful of early singles. By 1982, the Coconuts were a trio of Cheryl Poirier, Adriana Kaegi, and Taryn Hagey as actual members. This lineup of the Coconuts recorded their debut album "Don't Take My Coconuts" for EMI in 1983, with Poirier taking the lead vocalist role. Hagey was later replaced by Janique Svedberg when the group subsequently recorded around 1990. Lori Eastside, while once a member of Kid Creole And The Coconuts, was never a member of The Coconuts trio.
