Artist History The band formed in 1992 when bassist Neil Odell and drummer Chip Morrow met singer Kiki Parry at the Melody Bar in New Brunswick NJ, a favorite hangout for the group. Their first show was at that very same bar where they actually paid the bar to play there. The response was overwhelming and since then they have been one of central New Jersey's most popular bands. The band rounded out it's current line up with guitarist/vocalist Jo Coopersmith in 1994. The band performs regularly in the NY, NJ, PA area with regular shows at CBGBs (NYC) and the Khyber in Philadelphia in addition to colleges and universities in the northeast. The band has released 3 CDs: 'Crush You' released in 1994, 'Some Days EP' in 1996 and a re-issue of that same CD in 1998 entitled 'Some Days 98' that included 9 additional songs. A national radio promotion of the original 'Some Days' release in 1997 found the band charting on over 150 college and alternative radio stations across the country. In March, 1999 the band released 5 new songs under the title 'See Your Star' currently available only in MP3 format on their web site and other music sites, including MP3.COM.
