The pop/rock grouping Letters to Cleo formed in 1990 in Boston, where many youth bands get down to grow a fan base by pickings advantage of airplay on local college radio stations of the Cross. Guitarists Greg McKenna actually started Letters to Cleo as some other mathematical group. When he went in search of a desktop singer for his card, he establish vocalist Kay Hanley. The original band fell apart a few months later. McKenna and Hanley stayed on, and that's when they came up with the distinguish Letters to Cleo and switched to more than of a big businessman pop ring. The twosome added some other guitarist to the commingle, Michael Eisenstien. After some time went by, drummer Stacy Jones united, and then bassist Scott Reibling.


The gifted five seemed to click, personally and musically. Letters to Cleo adage its offset recording, Break of the day Gory Alice, hit the market in 1993. It was released under the local Cherry Disc Records label. The debut record album did better than expected, and soon the band had the full attention of the major-label Giant Records. Giant did a re-release of Daybreak Gory Alice in 1994. It was followed by the soph recording Wholesale Meats and Fish a year later. The grouping as well put out a match of notable singles in 1995, "Awake" and "Here & Now." A medicine video was shot for the latter and gained good photograph on MTV. The melodic line was even exploited on the popular indicate Melrose Place for its hit soundtrack. For all the things that seemed to be expiration right, the second record album, Wholesale Meats and Fish, didn't do comfortably. It would be 2 years earlier the next album, Go, appeared. It was released under the Revolution Records label.

The group gave it another hear in 1998 with Sister. Some of the tracks fans can love from these last iI recordings are "Orphic Agent," "Dreams," "Never Tell," "Anchor," "Because of You," and "I Got Time."


Along the manner, the chemical group toured continuously, Kay Hanley marital Michael Eisenstein, Stacy Jones rejoined the team shortly, and a good time was had by all. But on May fourth of 2000, Letters to Cleo played its last gig, suitably enough it happened in Boston, where the band started. The adjacent calendar month, the local newspaper, the Boston Globe, made the announcement official. The group did knead together for a spell yearner at least, because of a gestural contract that had them obligated to finish process on Molly-O, an alive series for television system. After that, most of the members were looking at onwards to testing stunned their skills as solo artists, in one form or another.
