Norman

There are at least four bands and one dj with the name Norman: Norman is a band defined by its surroundings: the green, lush, and often soggy landscapes of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. An aesthetic layered with fields and farms, trees and hills, the valley is sandwiched between two mountain ranges and extends North to Portland, Oregon. Norman’s sophomore full-length, Hay, Hay, Make a Wish and Turn Away conjures images of a flatbed pickup rambling down a dusty country road on a warm Summer evening.

Sweet Female Attitude

Sweet Female Attitude were an R'n'B duo consisting of Leanne Brown and Catherine Cassidy both of whom came from Stockport in the UK, and are considered a one hit wonder in the United Kingdom. Their April 2000 single "Flowers" made it to number two in the UK charts, but the follow up, Eight Days A Week stalled at number 43. Sweet FA, as the name is commonly abbreviated to, were promoted as a 'more realistic' pair of British girls who refused to conform to the industry standards of being thin and well-toned, instead being happy with their figure.

Miss Scarlett

Eliza (Lisa Conway) and Josephina (Jo Fallak) are two old souls trapped inside cocktail dresses & sunglasses. They came together as a music-making duo during 2007 because of their shared love of vermouth, dislike of television, and the fact that they already had a gig. Eliza enjoys snow boarding, smoking Captain Blacks, and incredibly spicy foods. She plays the violin, the guitar, the piano, & sings. Josephina particularly likes basil, typewriters, and the colour green. She sings, plays the piano, the guitar, a ladybug, & the melodica.
