Sisters Shellie & Karen Poole formed Alisha's Attic in the early 1990's and were discovered by the Eurythmics' Dave Stewart after they sent him a demo tape. They recorded 3 albums with Mercury Records before parting company and the sisters went their separate ways to persue solo careers. Shellie changed her name to Shelly and released her debut solo album "Hard Time For The Dreamer" in 2005 and Karen went on to write music and lyrics for well-known artists such as Kylie and Dannii Minogue, Will Young and Sugababes.
