After leaving the Lou-less Velvets circa 1972, Moe settled with her husband and daughter in Phoenix, where her musical efforts consisted of a few shows with an outfit called Paris 1942, sitting in one night with the Violent Femmes, and releasing the aforementioned vinyl. Four kids later, she got a divorce and took the kids to the wilds of southern Georgia. With some new Floridian friends, she put together the totally fab EP, MoeJadKateBarry. Kate is Kate Messer of the Velvet Underground Appreciation Society, while Jad and Barry are various friends who also contributed to the record.
