But this misses the main point, namely that Dypsomaniaxe was, above all, an excellent band, and it doesn’t matter whether they were men, women, or came from Mars.
Sadly, they only released one but almost perfect album during their existence.
The songs on One Too Many are often tuneful, with catchy melodies making them sound like a Psychobilly version of the Mo-dettes, the post-punk group from the early 1980s.
Biography
The Dyspsomaniaxe were an all-girl British psychobilly band. The UK quartet created a very entertaining, diversified traditional Psychobilly sound with slap bass-driven rhythms and stomp-able beats for the record-buying wreckers. But reducing them to that would take away their personality, and that’s an understatement to say they have a strong personality.
They were managed by Tony Gilmore, the original bassist with The Klingonz. They played fast, crazy, outrageous, exuberant, and fun Psychobilly—everything to seduce!
The main thing people remember about Dypsomaniaxe is that they were the first all-female Psychobilly band (and when you think about it, there weren’t many after them).
The Band released only one album before splitting up.
Line-up:
Angie: Guitar and backing vocals

Dypsomaniaxe
One Too Many (2002)
This is the CD re-release of the original LP, that was primary out on multi-coloured 12´´ vinyl back in 1992.
The same goes for the rhythm section, which propels everything efficiently.
One may, and still, regret a production that is a little meager at places, but let’s not shy away from our pleasure, ‘One Too Many’ is an excellent album from start to finish, and an original one at that.
Once again, it’s too bad they have split before recording a second opus or even a live album.
Their version of Bad Habit on the Live At the Big Rumble compilation eclipses many other bands on this record.
Unfortunately, Dypsomaniaxe did not arouse vocations, and it wasn’t until bands like As Diabatz arrived that we found the same explosive mixture.

.
Angie varies the sounds and textures, ranging from Mask’s almost acoustic Hispanic intro to the distorted sound of Dirty Washing and Spirit On You.The singer plays her role perfectly, alternating between a captivating (Siren) or surly (Dangerous Liaison) voice, supported by perfectly in-place backing vocals.
The group is quite as good. That’s a fact. One Too Many will remain forever a footnote in rocking music as it was the first Psychobilly album, that was recorded by an all-female line-up and paved the way for future Psychobilly kittens.
Highlights: Bad Habit, Dangerous Liaisons, Dirty Washing, Dypsomaniaxe and Doctor McBain.

Dypsomaniaxe was formed by four colorful girls (Stella on double bass, Ben on lead vocals, Sam on drums, and Angie on guitar) with impressive quiffs that would make the Klingonz green with envy (their first double bass player was their manager).
Both formats of the album were distributed by Tombstone Records, with two more tunes on the CD release.
