The childlike lo-fi pop sextet Sissy Bar formed in 1994 when the core duo of singer Joy Ray and guitarist Courtney Holt -- the son of <a href="spotify:artist:6YZjVkgG0TwrDI1mDcnXo5">Will Holt</a>, the author of the <a href="spotify:artist:6yrBBtqX2gKCHCrZOYBDrB">Peter, Paul and Mary</a> hit "Lemon Tree" -- delivered an impromptu performance at a friend's party in Los Angeles. After enlisting banjo player Brad Kluck, bassist Anne Kadrovich, keyboardist Mary Ellen Mason, and drummer Patrick Simpson, the group began honing a sound built around Holt's mandate that the members play whatever they feel like, resulting in an off-kilter fusion of country, new wave, and waltz music. In 1996, Sissy Bar issued their debut LP, Statutory Grape, a record highlighted by the band's odd cover of <a href="spotify:artist:7hJcb9fa4alzcOq3EaNPoG">Snoop Doggy Dogg</a>'s "Gin and Juice," later sampled by members of <a href="spotify:artist:1m2Sbjg9SKt5gHiyaqqqSn">the Dogg Pound</a> posse. Songs for Peeps followed in 1999. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
