2.) Twig were a Boston band that existed from 1992-1996. They consisted of Trisha Matthews (Guitar, Vocals), Julie Kantner (Guitar, Vocals), Niels LaWhite (Bass), and Ramona Herboldsheimer (Drums).
Following the breakup of their previous band Fertile Virgin, guitarists Julie and Trisha joined with Niels , and Ramona to form the band Twig. They released 2 singles on Harriet Records “Fall of Love”/”Riff”, and “I Never Knew”/”Parade”. These were followed by compilation appearances on SpinArt, Pop Narcotic, and Harriet releases among others.
Not long after headlining one of two nights celebrating Harriet Records 5th birthday in 1995, the band retired to the studio to record “As The Twig Is Bent So Grows The Tree” their only CD release. Soon after its release on Candy Floss in 1996, the band ceased to exist.
Julie and Ramona went on to play together in the short lived bands, Orans, and Balloon Chase Team. Separately Ramona remains active with the theremin band The Lothars, and Julie has gone solo as Uranium Daughters.

I can detect the Orange Juice resemblance. I admire that Swedish bands (TWIG, Days, the Bridal Shop, Beach House, Boat Club, Studio and etc) are reviving the soothing and amiable sounds of the '80s and '90s... I just cannot get over the fact of how much the guy's voice sounds like Edwyn Collins from Orange Juice... nothing negative, just astonishing!!!
