Avenue D was an American electroclash duo from Miami, Florida. Based in New York City, the duo consisted of Debbie D. (Debbie Attias) and Daphne D. (Daphne Gomez-Mena). They were protégés of Larry Tee, and performed for his parties. Their music is an energetic, humorous and sexually explicit mix of hip hop, electro, and new wave. History Avenue D formed in 2001, as part of New York's electroclash scene, which also included artists such as Fischerspooner, Peaches, and Felix da Housecat. Their songs were inspired by new wave music and 2 Live Crew. Groups including W.I.T. and My Robot Friend were part of the lineup along with Avenue D in April 2003 at Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, California, and subsequently at the Henry Fonda Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California. Boy George appeared onstage with Avenue D at a July 2004 party "Disgraceland" hosted by Larry Tee. They performed at clubs Wave Waikiki and Pussycat Lounge in Honolulu, Hawaii in November 2004. In 2005, they scored a moderate hit with "Do I Look Like a Slut?" on the Billboard Hot Dance Singles Sales chart. The same year, their song "Orgasmatron" was featured prominently in Eon McKai's alt porn film Neu Wave Hookers. The band was also politically active, and played rallies and benefits for causes such as gay marriage. They released six albums independently, all on their own label, Avenue Dreams. In 2004, they collaborated with Boy George's electroclash project, The Twin, by appearing on his album Yum Yum, on the track "Fire-Desire". A mash-up of the duo's song "Do I Look Like a Slut?" with The Twin's "Here Come the Girls" was also made but remained unreleased until his 2010's compilation, named "Ordinary Alien". Norwegian musician Erlend Øye included Avenue D's song "2D2F" on his installment of the DJ-Kicks compilation series, released on April 19, 2004. On November 19, 2007, Avenue D announced on their website that they would split up. They performed two final shows in December of that year, one in Brooklyn and the other in Miami. To coincide with Valentine's Day, a triple-disc box set was released in early 2008, containing the albums Grade D Beef (a re-issue of their first album with an altered track presentation), D Sides, and Totally Magic (a collaboration with Phiiliip), packaged in a heart-shaped box with a bonus T-shirt included. In 2008, Debbie D. joined Otto
