Clare Moore and Adele Pickvance
Beginnings
One did her first gig playing drums in a rock band in a rock mass in a Catholic Cathedral to a congregation of about a thousand people. The other stood next to her father with a bass guitar as he played keyboards in Working Mens Clubs in the UK and then in Brisbane and surrounds.
Thats different to the usual origin tale/route told by art school indie bands.
