The debut release by New England, US band Letters To Cleo, 1993's Aurora Glory Alice, caused an immediate impact, leading to a major label contract with Giant Records. They repackaged and re-released the album in October 1994,including the song 'Here And Now'. This featured on the soundtrack to the television show Melrose Place, which gave the group mainstream expisure. It originally featuring Kay Hanley (vocals), Scott Riebling (bass), Michael Eisenstein (guitar), Greg McKenna (guitar) and Stacy Jones (drums). However, the release of Wholesale Meats And Fish did not go over to well for the group. It spent only one week in the Billboard charts in the summer of 1995. The whole experience left Kay Hanley sceptical about the true impact of the single's success: 'the crowds got bigger and people actually cared about our music, which was awesome. But when you have that type of success, people automatically assume that there is nothing more to you.' By the third album, 1997's Go!, Giant had changed its name to Revolution Records and Letters To Cleo's personnel had shifted. Jones departed to join Veruca Salt, and was replaced by Tom Polce. The producer was Peter Collins. Cars keyboard player Greg Hawkes also made a guest appearance on Go! Between albums, Hanley had expanded her horizons by appearing as Mary Magdalene in the Boston Rock Opera's production of Jesus Christ Superstar (her co-star was Gary Cherone, the voice of Van Halen and ex- Extreme ). As of now Jones play the drums for the group on tour.
