Patrice Pike originally met guitarist Wayne Sutton when they were high school students in Dallas, Texas.
Originally called 'Little Sister,' the band began playing in Dallas at venues such as Club Dada.
They would eventually relocate to Austin where the group quickly moved from being an opening band into a headlining role.
The members also didn't want legal threats similar to those promised by the Boston group because it was in negotiations with Arista Austin.
The band released two further full-length studio albums and scored a hit with the song "Know What You Mean," which reached #21 on the Adult Top 40 charts and #76 on the Billboard Hot 100.
