Career
Born in Leeds, England, in 1959, Timms recorded her first solo album, Hangahar (an experimental improvised film score), at the age of 19 with Pete Shelley of the Buzzcocks in 1980. Prior to joining The Mekons in 1986 she was in a band called the She Hees. She has released several other solo albums, Someone's Rocking My Dreamboat in 1988, To the Land of Milk and Honey in 1995, and a country album, Cowboy Sally's Twilight Laments for Lost Buckaroos, for Bloodshot Records in 1998. She gave herself the name "Cowboy Sally" after the character she played on TNT's Rudy and GoGo Show. Her latest solo recording In the World of Him was released in 2004 on Touch and Go Records.
Timms sang "Give me Back my Dreams" on The Sixths' Hyacinths and Thistles and has recorded with Marc Almond, The Aluminum Group, Jon Rauhouse's Steel Guitar Show, the Sadies, Andre Williams and A Grape Dope. She participated in Vito Acconci's Theater Project for a Rock Band as part of the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Next Wave Festival in 1995 and also performed with Kathy Acker in her lesbian pirate operetta Pussy, King of the Pirates at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago and elsewhere. Timms sang several songs on The Executioner's Last Songs CDs, which raised funds for the Illinois Moratorium Against the Death Penalty, and participated in Jon Langford's multi-media performance project The Executioner's Last Songs. She occasionally writes crude broadsheets on pop culture and recently directed a Christmas pirate panto Catfish Girl and her adventures amongst mermaids and pyrates at the Hideout Bar in Chicago. She was the voice of SARA from Cartoon Network's Toonami block, voicing the first and second incarnations of the character from 1999 to 2007 alongside Steven Blum, the voice of TOM. The second incarnation of SARA was also voiced by Kath Soucie. Dana Swanson currently voices SARA.
Her musical style is often placed under the genre of alternative country, and she often tours with other bands on Bloodshot Records.
She was married to musician and comedian Fred Armisen from 1998 to 2004.
She wrote 'Horses', a song with recordings performed by Palace Music and Bonnie Prince Billy.
