Solid as a Rock

Star model Fabienne Fabre started a band with Eric Lévi, Corinne Marienneau,i and Louis Bertignac (Téléphone). The band was named Shakin' Street (after the MC5 song) by Marc Zermati when they appeared at the first Mont-de-Marsan punk festival in 1976, sharing the bill with The Damned, The Police and Eddie and the Hot Rods. Shakin' Street also shared bills with The Clash and The Stranglers. Fabienne's photo was featured on the covers of Sounds and NME.
Fabienne met Phillip Shine in Bombay, India. He became the group's manager, and she adopted his name as her own. Shakin' Street signed to CBS Records in France and released the album Vampire Rock in 1978. Fabienne shared the stage with her long-time friend, Nico, during several concerts of their French tour.
Their follow-up album, the self-titled Shakin' Street, was produced by Sandy Pearlman. Now with Ross The Boss on guitar, they toured the world for a full year, sharing bills with Blue Öyster Cult, Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Molly Hatchet, Journey, REO Speedwagon, and Heart.

In 1980, Fabienne married Damon Edge, the mysterious creator of the San Francisco experimental/industrial band Chrome. Fabienne collaborated with him on several Chrome albums, and her vocals appear on the 1982 Chrome album 3rd from the Sun. When Damon moved to Paris, Fabienne introduced him to her band and a new version of Chrome was formed. After she and Damon separated, she studied astrology in Paris.
