Pop ne'er dies, it simply finds diverse sport forms to mutate into. The Lollies embracing that special principle, tackling everything from fille group back talk to Britpop caustic remark and distilling it through wickedly funny lyrics and self-described "indie sugary" sound. Born and raised in London, the grouping came into being at the start of 1999 when two expatriates, Canadian bassist/singer Jane Mountain and American guitarist/singer Kate St. Claire, woke up with hangovers from a New Year's Eve party and a call scripted. Initial demo recordings for what the two initially mentation of as a everyday jest attracted interest from likewise minded label and band types, resulting in a total band card when some other expatriate, Canadian drummer Matthew Lazowski, stepped up in late summer 1999. Keyboardist Rachel Angel, the one English member of the grouping, joined with only when a week ahead the band's first real gig, having come to interview the band and then invited to hang around for good. The band made its first famed splashes in 2000 with a variety of gigs (including some dates in America and Canada) and a full debut EP, Bang! Bang! Bang! Lookout, Lookout, Lookout!
