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:
“I was with Hercules and Cadmus once,
When in a wood of Crete they bayed the bear
With hounds of Sparta: never did I hear
Such gallant chiding; for besides the groves,
The skies, the fountains, every region near
Seemed all one mutual cry. I never heard
So musical a discord, such sweet thunder.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The history is always the same the product is always different and the history interests more than the product. More, that is, more. Yes. But if the product was not different the history which is the same would not be more interesting.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
