Their influences are the great troubadours like Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen and Roy Orbison, along with the vocal harmonies of Simon and Garfunkel and the Beach Boys.

Having botched an attempt to work together in their day jobs (Carly moved to China for a while to get over it) Shel and Carly thought it was high time they made music together instead.

Their friendship is based on a love of frocks, rum and laughing a bit too hard until you cry.
