Biography

Day, originally from Copenhagen originally performed with punk rock band Peanut Pump Gun. She met Nekromantix singer and bassist, Kim Nekroman, at the 1996 POPKOMM festival in Cologne, Germany. Day would later marry Nekroman. The two formed a band in 1996 called Horrorpops. Day is the lead singer and also plays upright bass.

On tour, Day plays custom-created upright basses made for her by Nekroman. These basses weigh approximately half of what a normal bass does, have thinner bodies, and slimmer necks because her hands are much smaller than the average upright bass player. Day tends to use nylon strings and Gallien-Krueger 1001RB head and 410RBH cabs to push the slap sound while on tour. Her trademark is her heavily decorated white double bass, hand painted by tattoo artist Baby Lou Tattoo.
