were an all women acoustic-rock band based in Melbourne.

We played together for about five years, and most of our songs were originals.

We performed at the
Port Fairy Folk Festival,
Darebin Music Festival,
the Daylesford Women's Ball
and at the Midsumma Festival's Street Party, Carnival Day, Pride March and Satin and Silk Ball.

 

At first, Gail and Deb started singing their own songs together. Gail had played solo and Deb had been in groups before. They then met up with Kit, Megan and Jean. This lineup originally played at the Victoria Hotel - a women's pub at the time in Brunswick. We also played at some other pubs around town.

We recorded a song on the Girlzone 2 compilation of original women musicians in Melbourne. The song we recorded was "Moments in Time" written by Gail.

At the end of 1996 Jean went overseas for 10 months. During 1997 Kit left and Penny joined,. When Jean returned, we recorded a self titled demo CD at the end of '97, releasing it in '98. In 1999 - Penny left, and we played on for a while as a 4 piece band.

Our last gig was at the 2000 Dandenong Ranges Folk Festival on Sunday 13th February at 1pm in the Coopers Tent.
