History

edit

The duo met while auditioning for a Calvin Klein underwear commercial in 1995.[3] Sir Plus plays guitar and Miss Minor plays drums, both contributing vocals.[3][4][5]

The band's album The White Belt Is Not Enough was recorded at a Victorian house in Petaluma on vintage analog equipment and mastered at Abbey Road Studios, and released in 2005 to positive reviews, with a US tour following.[1][2][3][4][6]

The band's music has been described as indie rock and "garagey and primal and minimalist".[3][6] Comparisons have been drawn with Sonic Youth, Polvo, Blonde Redhead, and Erase Errata.[4][3]
