Chrissy Amphlett: Dangerous. Seductive. Unforgettable. She didn’t arrive—she erupted. Chrissy Amphlett didn’t enter a room so much as charge into it, armed with a death stare and a school uniform that looked less like a costume and more like a declaration of war. She wasn’t just the lead singer of Divinyls. She was the band—its bleeding heart, its serrated edge, its manic pulse.
With smeared lipstick and torn fishnets, she didn’t flirt with controversy. She slow-danced with it in full view, daring the world to look away. Her voice was an electric storm—untrained, unpredictable, sexual, violent, vulnerable. When she sang, it wasn’t to please you. It was to survive. In the era of shiny pop princesses and macho pub rockers, Chrissy Amphlett was neither. She was raw hunger wrapped in velvet and barbed wire. Her legend wasn’t built on radio-friendly gloss—it was forged in sweat-soaked venues, courtroom fights, tabloid wars, and songs that sounded like they’d clawed their way out of a fever dream.
Songs like "Boys in Town", her furious debut anthem that snarled with impatience and adolescent rebellion. Songs like "Pleasure and Pain", that peeled back the layers of lust and punishment with brutal honesty. But the story behind that voice—behind the controversy, the hits, the fights, and the heartbreak—is even more explosive than the songs she left behind.
Christina Amphlett was born on October 25, 1959, in the Victorian coastal city of Geelong. But this wasn’t a child content to play in the backyard. By 14, she was in trouble with authority. She ran away from home, lived on the streets, and was eventually arrested for busking in Spain. She would later claim she never chose music—it chose her. She was all instinct. She didn’t have vocal training, didn’t follow rules. What she had was electricity running through her veins, and when she sang, it came out as pure voltage.
In Sydney in 1980, she met guitarist Mark McEntee. Their creative connection was instant—so was the chaos. From that moment, Divinyls was born. With Amphlett’s savage charisma and McEntee’s jagged guitar work, the band fused glam, punk, and pop into something uniquely Australian and unmistakably theirs.
