Splendid was a musical duo of Angie Hart and Jesse Tobias, who at the time were also husband and wife.

They met in Canada, August 1996, when the Australian band Frente!, fronted by Hart, arrived to play over two weeks of support dates for Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill tour, Jesse's band for the last two years – previously with Mother Tongue and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Hart and Tobias married, and decided to form a band, the result being Splendid.

Splendid appeared on the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer three times beginning with the episode "I Only Have Eyes for You" in which Hart sang "Charge", to the episode "The Freshman" in which she sang "You and Me".

Hart also co-wrote (with the Buffy creator Joss Whedon) and performed the song "Blue" for the seventh season episode "Conversations with Dead People".
