Something for Kate formed in Melbourne, Australia in 1994. The founding members of the three-piece band were vocalist and guitarist Paul Dempsey, bass player Julian Carroll (later to be replaced by Stephanie Ashworth) and drummer Clint Hyndman.
After recording a 7-track demo in 1995, the band signed to Murmur Records, a subsidiary of Sony. In 1996, they released the 7-track EP The Answer to Both Your Questions, recorded and mixed by Greg Atkinson of Sydney band Big Heavy Stuff.
In November of 1996, the 3-track single “Dean Martin” was released. Early in 1997, the band released a 5-track EP titled Intermission as they recorded their first album, Elsewhere for Eight Minutes, in New Zealand and mixed and mastered it in New York with U.S. producer Brian Paulson. (Brian had previously produced albums for Wilco, Archers of Loaf, Superchunk and Slint, amongst others.) Something for Kate’s first full-length album was released in July of 1997. Bass player Julian Carroll was then replaced by Toby Ralph, who toured with the band for the release of the album.
Four singles were released from Elsewhere for Eight Minutes: “Captain (Million miles an hour)”, “Prick”, “Working Against Me” and “Roll Credit”. Bass player Toby Ralph was replaced by Stephanie Ashworth (of Melbourne outfit Sandpit) in March 1998. The band then wrote their second album, Beautiful Sharks, which was released in April of 1999. Beautiful Sharks was recorded in Melbourne, once again by producer Brian Paulson.

It's the only worldwide released record. Maybe that stops your confusion. I had to import all other records from australia to hear that great music.

So very very very good life, flawless. Songs which still cut to the heart of things without seeming trite, and the symbolism is so lush. Steph is damn solid on bass, and Clint is a fucking manic drummer! Saw Paul last night at a solo show and am still digesting his sincere (as always) performance.

I just saw that Stephanie Ashworth from Something for Kate has been nominated in the Worlds Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrity poll at PETAAsiaPacific.com! I'm a big fan of hers and I'm so happy to see she has a compassionate side for animals. Make sure you cast your vote for her here: http://www.petaasiapacific.com/FeatureSexiestVegetarianCelebrity.asp?c=papsv09sasfk Stephanie apparently made the switch in diet because of the horrific conditions on factory farms where animals are raised for food as well as the devastating effect meat production has on the environment and the great health benefits of a meat free diet. Who knew!
