I remember there was an interview with them in Rockpool about a year
ago. (Yes, I read Rockpool.  So shoot me already) Maybe more like a
year and a half.  I still haven't got all my stuff sent out here since
I moved from California, so I can't check for you, but there might be
some mention of past projects.  A fun band to be sure.

They *do* have a male vocalist too.  I'm sure you know, having bought
the album, but I thought it might be useful to note, what with the
high percentage of female singers discussed on this group...
