This band was originally known as The Kelly Affair when they played the high school prom circuit. It consisted of its namesake:

Kelly MacNamara, lead singer, songwriter and guitar,

Casey Anderson, bass,

and Petronella “Pet” Danforth, drums.

They moved to Los Angeles with their road manager:

Harris Allsworth.

There, they had a fortuitous meeting with famed rock producer

Ronnie “Z-Man” Barzell.

Z-Man was so impressed with an impromptu performance at one of his legendary parties that he immediately took the troupe under his wing, renaming them The Carrie Nations after the famed battle-axe swinging temperance fighter Carrie Nation.

They went on to put to vinyl a number of their incredible pop hits including “Find It”, “Sweet-Talkin' Candy Man”, “Come With The Gentle People”, “In The Long Run”, and “Look Up At The Bottom”.
