Ottis Toole was known for being Henry Lee Lucas’ lover and accomplice. This inspired film-maker John McNaughton for “Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer”. Toole was also a cannibal and a pyromaniac.

His tragic life inspired Diabolita who started Baby Fire as a solo project. She met drummer Cha! at a Cheap Satanism Records’ party. In January 2010, they started rehearsing and within a few months they were opening for bands such as HRSTA, Part Chimp, Lydia Lunch & The Big Sexy Noise…
Their debut album named “No Fear” has been released on Cheap Satanism Records and features special guests Dana Schechter (Bee and Flower, The Angels of Light…) and Eugene Robinson (Oxbow).
