Fine, Cool, With Love

'Toothpaste 2000 evolved from the Seattle duo the Cowboy and the Spingirl, an alias for bassist/guitarist/vocalist Frank Bednash and guitarist/vocalist Donna Esposito. The two got together in the mid-'80s and released the Ear Candy album, plus several singles, on the Parasol label. When drummer Duff Drew joined, the band's name was changed to Toothpaste 2000. The album Death of the Italian Film Star was released in 1997, with Bachelorette following two years later.' - Steve Huey, All Music Guide
