ROCKS

The Murmurs
Leisha Hailey and Heather Grody began performing as The Murmurs in 1991 while the duo were both students of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. With their self-released, debut album, Who We Are, they quickly attracted a cult following on the East Village club circuit. In 1994, The Murmurs signed with MCA Records. They released their self-titled LP the same year. The duo expanded into a four-woman group in 1997 with the addition of bassist Sheri Ozeki and drummer Sherri Solinger. They released Pristine Smut in 1997 and, a year later, Blender.

REDCAR

In 2005, following the breakup of GUSH, Heather Reid (formerly Grody) and Jon Skibic formed the band REDCAR with Michael Sullivan and Ryan MacMillan. Their debut album was released in March 2007 and was produced by Grammy award winner Greg Collins (U2 and Gwen Stefani). Also, Heather began a record company titled Phyllis Records.

Well, they did tour in Europe at some point.. I read somewhere that they were big in Norway Very Happy

Too bad I was too young back then to appreciate this kind of music, non mainstream I guess..
