Daphne and Celeste (also Daphne & Celeste) are an American pop duo, comprising Celeste Cruz and Karen 'Daphne' DiConcetto. They are best known for their songs "Ooh Stick You" and "U.G.L.Y.".
Cruz was born September 24, 1983 in Newark, New Jersey, USA and DiConcetto was born December 1, 1980 in Long Branch, New Jersey.
They released three singles in the UK: "Ooh Stick You", "U.G.L.Y." and a cover version of Alice Cooper's "School's Out". A full-length album, We Didn't Say That!, was released in June 2000 to generally positive reviews (Melody Maker awarded it four out of five stars). Another single, "Party", was due in November 2000, but was never released.
During their performance at the Reading and Leeds Festivals in 2000, the crowd's negative reception towards Daphne and Celeste's incongruous music resulted in the duo being bottled by the audience. Despite the hostile crowd response, Daphne and Celeste remained on stage and continued to perform their songs.
A few pop fans were vociferous in their dislike for Daphne and Celeste. "U.G.L.Y." in particular was criticised, many feeling that it promoted bullying. Daphne and Celeste countered this by saying their lyrics were meant to be tongue-in-cheek. In an interview included on the "U.G.L.Y." single, Daphne stated: "Everyone is indeed ugly in their own special way." Daphne and Celeste made an appearance at Feet First. Daphne and Celeste also had a television and film deal.
Daphne and Celeste were dropped by their label. Their official website closed down in October 2001, and their management company, Perfect Noise Limited, was dissolved in November 2002. After the band broke up Celeste went back to school.
In 2005, Daphne and Celeste had a mini reunion tour in the UK with Lolly. Celeste Cruz sang guest vocals on a song for Kent Odessa.
On March 29, 2015, the duo had a second reunion and released a single titled "You and I Alone", produced by Max Tundra. The song is the first single from the album Daphne & Celeste Save the World, and was written and produced by Max Tundra.
On February 7, 2018, Daphne and Celeste announced the comeback album with the launch of another song, "BB", produced by Max Tundra. The duo and Tundra performed at London's Boston Music Room to promote the release.
