The Plums

In 1992, Kennedy-McCracken formed indie pop four-piece The Plums with guitarist Steve Moffat and drummer Shamus Goble; all three had previously played in the band Jack and the Beanstalk. They were joined by Pete McCracken on bass guitar.^[10] According to rock music historian Ian McFarlane, "The Plums mixed strident guitar riffs with melodic pop roots. Kennedy was the band's focal point with her tough-but-graceful presence, opinionated views and emotion-charged, if imperfect, vocals".^[10]
The band released two EPs on Mushroom's Temptation label, Au Revoir Sex Kitten and Read All Over.^[10] The album Gun followed in 1994. The band's final recording was the Heavenly EP, released in 1995. The band broke up the same year.

Deadstar Biography by Tom Demalon

The Australian band Deadstar formed out of necessity. Guitarist Barry Palmer (of Hunters & Collectors and Melbourne session drummer Peter Jones had completed tracks for a film score and were in need of lyrics and vocals. They enlisted ex-Plums singer Caroline Kennedy and, although little came of the film, the three chose to make their artistic union a going concern. In the UK, Discordant Records picked up the single "Valentine's Day," selling through the initial pressing. The three were joined on a tour in the UK by ex-Crowded House bassist Nick Seymour, but he left the group to be replaced by another of Kennedy's Plums bandmates, Peter McCracken. Additionally, Michael Den was added as a second guitarist. Together, Deadstar has released three albums, 1996's Deadstar, 1997's Milk, and 1999's Somewhere Over The Radio.
