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
