History
The duo met while auditioning for a Calvin Klein underwear commercial in 1995.[3] Sir Plus plays guitar and Miss Minor plays drums, both contributing vocals.[3][4][5]
The band's album The White Belt Is Not Enough was recorded at a Victorian house in Petaluma on vintage analog equipment and mastered at Abbey Road Studios, and released in 2005 to positive reviews, with a US tour following.[1][2][3][4][6]
