[4] Garside left Daisy Chainsaw after completing two years with the band, and went into seclusion in the Lake District,[5] where she lived in the historic Rigg Beck, a retreat for artists and bohemians.

[2] Gray and Garside were joined by drummer Billy Freedom and bassist Orson Wajih[11] and released their debut single, "X-ing Off the Days" / "Heavenly Surrender" on 25 October 1999.

[10] NME gave the album a positive review, writing: "While carrying on Daisy Chainsaw's predilection for rock as infantile nightmare, here the scope is much wider than a one-track take on banshee pop.

The album was well received by such publications as Drowned in Sound, who gave it a 7/10 rating, writing: "KatieJane Garside is the kind of woman who makes ordinarily rational grown guys go weak at the knees.

As her cutesy lost girl Tori Amos/Björk-isms erupt into fearsome hollers that would have piss dribbling down Courtney Love's surgically enhanced thighs, it'll all make sense.

"[17] Rough Trade dropped the group shortly after the release of Drink Me, and Wajih left the band while they embarked on a tour supporting Garbage.

[10] The band signed with One Little Indian Records in 2004, and released The Butcher and the Butterfly with KatieJane's sister Melanie Garside on bass, who left soon after and was replaced by Paul Jackson (not to be confused with the fusion bassist of the same name).

In a 2020 interview on Conan Neutron’s Protonic Reversal Garside, who released an album under the name Liar, Flower, expressed extreme skepticism about working with Gray in the future or further Queenadreena material including her contributions.

[18] Their final studio album Djin was re-released in a limited edition, gatefold double neon pink vinyl set by Cadiz Entertainment on 16 April 2021.

The reissue included six additional new demo tracks and a previously unheard song "Heaven Doesn't Wait", co-written and recorded with the late Andy Gill from Gang of Four.
