It's all about the music, always has been. MP3s on their way... Technosynthpop duo from Cincinnati, OH USA. All original tunes. Kelly wrote the lyrics and sang; Shari wrote the music, played the instruments, and produced the tunes. Lots of keyboards, violin, drum machine, rich male vocals and layers of girl voices in the background. PJC performed to pre-recorded backing trax, adding vocals, violin, and percussion on stage. They played in the Cincinnati region from 1983 - 1988 with a sizeable local following. Released a 7" vinyl EP, Menage a Trois, in 1985; cassette release "Six Faces of a Couple" in 1987. A few of the vinyl EPs show up on eBay once in a while. Kelly & Shari retained their friendship but dissolved their bandship in 1988 when he moved to Key West and she to Washington, DC. They moved on to other musical efforts including Drums for Peace, Bingo Smith, World Circus Revue... ...until they began receiving emails from interested Euros around 2000. This led to a cut on upcoming compilation on Anna Logue records (Germany) (www.annaloguerecords.com). Since PJC performed to backing trax they already had the music recorded, some even with vocals and violin. They transferred all the original analog master tapes recorded on Shari's 1/2" 8-tk (Tascam 80-8) to digital hard drive, have remastered the the music, and will be releasing a new CD of original tunes from the mid-80s, in April 2007.
