ARTIST PROFILE: Toto Coelo
British new wave group, masterminded by producer Barry Blue. The original members were singers Anita Mahadevan, Lacey Bond, Lindsey Danvers, Ros Holness (daughter of television presenter Bob Holness) and Sheen Doran. In North America they were known as Total Coelo to avoid confusion with rockers Toto.
Originally formed in 1981, one of the groups’ first recordings was “Videotheque“, a Buggles number written and produced by Trevor Horn. The track became a hit for Dollar in 1982, while the Toto Coelo version remains unreleased. Another early track, “World of Automation“, is also unreleased.
The group is most known for the 1982 hit single, “I Eat Cannibals“, which reached No. 8 in the UK Singles Chart and was a top 5 hit in Australia, South Africa, and Sweden. “I Eat Cannibals“ also charted in the US, where it peaked at No. 66 in April 1983.
The follow-up single, “Dracula’s Tango (Sucker For Your Love)“, reached the top 20 in Australia and top 10 in Sweden. The group’s only studio album, 1983’s Man o’ War, was not a commercial success, charting highest in Sweden at No. 46.
A third single, “Milk from the Coconut“, was released from the album and peaked at No. 4 in South Africa. Following the album, Anita Mahadevan and Sheen Doran left the group.
The group’s name is Latin and means “by the whole extent of the heavens“ or “heaven-wide“, but is commonly translated as “completely“, “entirely“ or “utterly“. Of the name, Sheen Doran said, “It has a number of meanings, such as ’heart and soul’, ’root and branch’ and ’totally different’. It seemed to describe what we were. Plus, it’s strange-sounding and hard to pronounce, so it sticks in your mind“. The group was renamed Total Coelo in the United States to avoid confusion with the American rock group Toto.
