Biography (wiki)

Brix Smith Start (born Laura Elisse Salenger, best known as Brix Smith) is an American singer and guitarist, best known as the lead guitarist and a major songwriter for the English post-punk band The Fall.

She is currently the lead vocalist and guitarist with Brix & the Extricated, along with brothers Steve and Paul Hanley.

Smith Start was raised in Los Angeles by her mother Lucy Salenger, a TV executive at CBS. Mother and daughter moved to Chicago in 1972, when Salenger married political economist Marvin Zonis and became a powerful regional figure in the film business as head of the Illinois Film Office.

Studying theatre and literature at Bennington College in Vermont, Smith Start formed a group, Banda Dratsing, in which she performed as bassist/vocalist; she adopted the name "Brix" after the Clash's 1979 song "The Guns of Brixton".

Smith Start met Mark E. Smith, vocalist of the Fall, at a Chicago concert in April 1983; she moved to his native England, where they settled in Manchester and married in July of that year. She joined the group on guitar and vocals for the album Perverted by Language. She co-wrote some of the best-regarded Fall tracks from the period, and is acknowledged for introducing a more mainstream, pop-oriented element to the group's sound. She remained with the Fall until her divorce from Smith in 1989. Acknowledging her importance to the band, some critics break the Fall's career and evolution into the pre-Brix years, the Brix years, and the post-Brix years. She rejoined for the recording and live promotion of the albums Cerebral Caustic (1995) and The Light User Syndrome (1996).
