Biography

Chicago garage band the Daughters of Eve was formed in late 1965 by manager Carl Bonafede -- already the mastermind behind local favorites the Buckinghams (best known for the classic "Kind of a Drag"), Bonafede now looked to assemble an all-girl group, first recruiting singer/guitarists Judy Johnson and Marsha Tomal. Bassist Andee Levin and drummer Debi Pomeroy rounded out the original lineup, which recorded its debut single, "Hey Lover," for the USA label in 1966. Bassist Marilou Davison replaced Levin in time for the 1967 follow-up, "Symphony of My Soul," and was herself replaced by Lori Wax on "Don't Waste My Time," the Daughters of Eve's third single and their first for the Spectra Sound label. The group signed to Cadet for 1968's "Social Tragedy," but dissolved later that year when both Johnson and Tomal wed. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
