Musical History
In 1980, Alice Cohen wrote Karen Young's Atlantic Records disco track "Deetour", recently re-released on Horse Meat Disco
After The Vels dissolved in 1987, Cohen's work changed direction and she became active in the indie/underground and touring scene. Cohen's best-known venture in this area is the band "Die Monster Die". A pair of "DMD" albums were released on the Roadrunner Records and Dutch East labels ("Withdrawal Method" and "Chrome Molly").
In 1996, Cohen sang a track (on camera) in the Martin Scorsese-produced movie Grace of My Heart (1996), directed by Allison Anders.
In recent years, Cohen has performed frequently as a solo act, as well as collaborating with a number of groups including LYDSOD, Long Lost, Castles, and Espadrille.
With the release of Cohen's solo records, she became active in video and animation, creating music videos to accompany her own releases, as well as composing soundtracks for other animations and video projects.

Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or history:
“Then, bringing me the joy we feel when wee see a work by our favorite painter which differs from any other that we know, or if we are led before a painting of which we have until then only seen a pencil sketch, if a musical piece heard only on the piano appears before us clothed in the colors of the orchestra, my grandfather called me the [hawthorn] hedge at Tansonville, saying, “You who are so fond of hawthorns, look at this pink thorn, isn’t it lovely?””
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“Humankind has understood history as a series of battles because, to this day, it regards conflict as the central facet of life.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
