Revision as of 22:58, 14 October 2005
Lauren Laverne (real name Lauren Gofton) (born 1978, Sunderland,England) is a disc jockey, television presenter, and former singer.
Laverne first rose to prominence as a member of the band Kenickie aged around sixteen, achieving two top 40 hits and memorably referring to contemporaneous girl-pop outfit the Spice Girls as "tory scum". The group split in 1998.
Following their demise, she appeared regularly on the ill-fated breakfast television programme RI:SE, became a DJ with BBC 6 Music, and was an occasional television presenter of events such as the Glastonbury Festival. She is currently a DJ on Xfm London (where she won Best Newcomer at the Commercial Radio Awards in 2004) and became a presenter of cd:uk in September 2005.
Since the break-up of Kenickie she has featured on several songs by other artists - most notably Mint Royale's Don't Falter.
Her all-time hero is Mark E. Smith of the band The Fall.
Trivia
- She appeared as a zombie in Shaun of the Dead
- As an ex-presenter of RI:SE and a current presenter of cd:uk she will now have been a part of two programmes to use the apparent typographical device.
