About Me

Miss Bee and Miss Lariss met one sunny day in a dewy glade tucked away in the hills of Central Park/Fairyland, whilst both were collecting wildflowers.The two have been creating quite a buzz ever since!

Sounds Like: Happy but Crazy Songs that are not always about boys. Are we anything other than Anti-Folk? Some songs are punk-rock, some are slow. Some are angry and/or funny, but all of them are heart-felt. Mostly they are just cleverly written on the basis of personal experiences, so when your experiences are jacked-up, it makes for quite an interesting song! : )
Type of Label: Major
