In actuality, there was only one girl in the band, lead vocalist Judy "Jo" Evans. While her distinct, soaring, bittersweet vocals may make the music sound light, it is not without a message. Evans' tongue-in-cheek lyrics tended to examine issues of politics, excess and the status quo. The song "Politics" is a cheery satirical look at American-style campaigning, "Go For Gold" criticizes middle-class lavish consumption and "Warm Girls" is a critique of the institution of marriage.
Funny side note, my friend recently informed me he attends Cambridge University with Judy Evans' daughter. Maybe he can hook me up for an interview some day!
