1997 was certainly a busy year for Misty because as mentioned she also became
lead singer of Box Office
Poison
DR.Martens were not just impressed with Misty on '5-15' but were very
keen on the whole Box Office Poison sound, songs, production and attitude and
insisted that they to be part of the'Generation to
Generation' album and that Russell should produce the album. Also as an
additional carrot they said they would sign the band for up for a six figure sum
and make them their first priority band to push on the newly created
label.
Although DR.Martens are renowned for sponsoring concerts to help new
artists and a move into putting out records seemed logical, a few of the company
directors were not so sure it was the right move. A big difference of opinion
within the hierarchy of the company resulted in the label eventually being
folded after the 'Generation to
Generation' album was released and 20,000 units were shifted. So Box Office
Poison lost their deal but managed to leave their mark with what many consider
to be the definitive version of 'Louie Louie'(least ways according to listeners
of XFM.

Undaunted by this set back B.O.P put out two singles the same year and two
tracks on The Cult
Themes from the Seventies Vol.1
Misty quickly became the best exponent of
the trade mark atmospheric backing Vocals pioneered on the First B.O.P album and
these were heard to good effect on the themes The Persuaders and
The Chase as well as on the singles Think For
Yourself/Lady Grinning Soul for which she also did lead vocals and
one half of the other single released that year Teenage
Sex/Alien, her doing a new lead vocal of the latter which was
originally featured on the 'Beyond the Twilight Zone' Album.

By the end of 1997 people were talking of Misty as being in the same league
as Eleanor
Rigby which was some complement and a buzz for her.
1998 was a less
hectic year but nevertheless an important one for Misty and B.O.P as it saw the
release of B.O.P's controversial second album Heavy Breathing
Decade on which Misty sung lead on 9 of the 15 tracks.
However 1998
turned out to be a bit of an anti climax for the album after some management
problems that stopped the band putting out singles to promote it.
However the
following year B.O.P contributed to another new cult themes album The 70's
Vol.2 In particulary their version of The
Deep was considered one of the raunchiest and sexiest tracks every
recorded.
Misty then went on to form her own band, the short lived Molotova. Their main claim to fame was playing the big
music industry bash 'IN THE CITY'.
With her contract to F.L.R expiring, she
got a new band together The Ju Ju Babies and performed some big gigs in Ibiza at
manumission and released an Ep 'Electrotrash'
2001 saw her final
contribution to her last FLR Release both as a solo Artists and B.O.P
contributor. Doing This is not America,(solo) Merry
Christmas Mr. Lawrence and Blade Runner (with B.O.P) for Cult Themes
from the 80's. The album also features one of her finest vocals with the
inclusion of the B.O.P original Alien late 2001 also
saw Misty Perform live with Russell for the last time as Box Office Poison
Hesdling a gig at The Subterrenia At Notting Hill London.
2005-6 saw Misty team up with ex Soft Cell member Dave Ball for the band GDM and also guest with Mod Band The Times at Live concerts. .

With her increasing popularity The Wallpaper Man/Mod Boy Ep single is
becoming collectable and much sort after.
