In the days before the MP3 blog, fanzines were one of the best ways to keep in touch with music being ignored by the mainstream and alternative press. Quite a few spawned other projects - from bands like Shampoo to record labels like Org. The latter was an institution in the mid-90s British indie scene, pumping out dozens of completely terrible records that sold about six copies each, seemingly kept going by nothing but passion and a punk D.I.Y spirit. The one exception to their fairly awful roster was Charlie's Angels - a proto-Pipettes produced by Nick Coler, later of Xenomania. They were an adorable mix of jangly indie and girl-group pop but sadly followed their label-mates into obscurity. Who knows? Maybe they'll get lucky and Frank will cover It's Never Gonna Happen To Me.
