Biography
Demarnia Lloyd formed Mink in the early 90s, performing an eclectic mix of pop and rock with Jamaican and other more worldly influences (often varying towards folky styles). More skewered than her latter outfit Cloudboy, Mink were popular around Dunedin, without ever breaking out to New Zealand-wide popularity. Lloyd was joined by Geneveive Mclean, George Henderson, and featured contributions from future Cloudboy members Johannes Contag, Heath Te-Au and Craig Monk – along with Alan Starret and Emily Barr.
