About Me

Lonely girls at heart travel far. Carrie Erving grew up in a small New England town, and left home early when offered a scholarship to attend boarding school. But while her classmates prepared themselves for the Ivy League, Carrie preferred squandering her time with writing, daydreaming, and the forming of secret societies. A week after finishing college, she hitched a ride cross country and landed in a small desert town in Southwestern New Mexico. There she met Berlin-Texas musician Uwe Effertz, who-- like so many other members of the sleepy mining town-- was 'on the run from something.' Together they began playing for miners and ranchers in the local saloons, until it was time to split town. Uwe moved back to Germany, Carrie hid out in Ireland for a while-- until an invitation from Tom Krimi--producer, musician, and man of leisure-- to relocate to Berlin proved impossible to resist. Holing up in the Krimi compound, the three whiled away the hours by forming a band and producing an album.
