The Braids

Dance-pop duo the Braids comprised vocalists Zoe Ellis and Caitlin Cornwell, both members of the Bay Area funk unit the Mo'fessionals. In 1996, they teamed with producer Stephan Jenkins of Third Eye Blind to record an R&B-themed cover of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" that later appeared on the soundtrack to the comedy High School High, narrowly missing the Top 40 singles chart. An album was planned, but the subsequent success of Third Eye Blind forced Jenkins out of the studio and on tour, effectively putting the Braids on hold; he finally returned to the project, and in 1999 the duo's debut album, Here We Come, appeared on Atlantic. ~ Jason Ankeny
