Haysi Fantayzee were a British New Wave Band of the early 1980s.Formed and fronted by Kate Garner and Jeremy Healy, and with songwriter/producer/manager Paul Caplin in the background, the Band had several hits in 1983 such as the singles "John Wayne Is Big Leggy", "Shiny Shiny", and "Sister Friction". The Band used their artsy look as a selling point, making a crude video performance and using that instead of a demo tape to sell the Band to record companies. Their attention-getting outfits were often designed by Garner herself. The Band's catchy music often had darkly humorous, subversive lyrics. "Shiny, Shiny" is an upbeat dance tune about the apocalypse, while "John Wayne Is Big Leggy" is about John Wayne refusing to remove his holster when he has sex with a squaw.
Kate Garner focused a career in photography. Jeremy Healy became a DJ and album mixer for other artists, including his former school chum Boy George. Paul Caplin now runs Caplin Systems, an internet software company.
