Platinum Weird



In 1974, Dave Stewart formed a band called Platinum Weird in North London

with his female songwriting partner, muse and soul mate, Erin Grace. The

pair originally met a few months earlier and formed a creative and spiritual

bond. Their debut gig was at Mick Jagger's birthday party where they

quickly enjoyed a cult-like status performing at intimate gigs in London's

rock club circuit. Elton John's Rocket label signed the band, putting down

an advance to send them into studio and lay down tracks.



Erin's behavior during the making of the album was unpredictable and

eccentric. Prone to mood swings and emotional insecurity, she would

often

disappear for days, and then reappear as if nothing was unusual with a

smile

and couple of new songs. Perhaps because of her unconventional persona,

men desired her and women emulated her. "She was wispy and elusive,"

Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks, once said. "I wasn't quite sure what she

was about, but I kind of copied her look."



With artwork finalized and a release date penciled in, Erin vanished again,

leaving Dave nothing but a demo of a song called "Will You Be Around" and a

closet of metal hangers where she used to keep her clothes. As suddenly as

she had appeared in Daves life, she was gone. "In a strange way," reflects

Mick Jagger, "I think Dave was the least surprised by what happened.

Knowing her nature, I think he found it kind of appropriate."

The highly anticipated eponymous album of Platinum Weird was

never released and its name disappeared from public consciousness as

quickly as the elusive songstress herself. Dave went into a deep

depression, a period he later referred to as his lost years."
