Splendid
From 1998 to 2004, Hart performed as part of the pop duo Splendid with her then-husband, Jesse Tobias, whom she met August 1996 when Frente! was supporting Alanis Morissette in Canada. Tobias was Morrissette's touring guitarist. Hart and Tobias married on 22 March 1997 in Austin, Texas and settled in Los Angeles where Hart collaborated with local musicians and made jewellery while Tobias took various jobs as a touring guitarist for Vanessa Carlton and Michelle Branch among others as well as music direction and production work. As Splendid, the couple released their debut album, Have You Got A Name For It, on 11 October 1999 in Australia. Due to the collapse of their US record company, Mammoth Records, immediately prior to the album's US release date, Have You Got A Name For It was never released outside of Australia. Hart and Tobias separated in September 2004 and have since divorced. Splendid's second album was largely completed prior to Hart and Tobias separating, and a 2006 release was expected, although it was put on hiatus while Hart worked on her solo album Grounded Bird in 2007. In December 2004 they released a six-track EP, States Of Awake, in Australia and through several independent distributors worldwide.

Famous quotes containing the word splendid:
“And here we have that splendid family
I never ran to when I got depressed,
The boys all biceps and the girls all chest....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“My mother and father are the only people on the whole planet for whom I will never begrudge a thing. Should I achieve great things, it is the work of their hands; they are splendid people and their absolute love of their children places them above the highest praise. It cloaks all of their shortcomings, shortcomings that may have resulted from a difficult life.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“Since I know nothing of the merits of poetry, I am not able to pass any opinion upon this, but I can see that “reap” and “deep,” “prayers” and “bears,” “ark” and “dark,” “true” and “grew” do rhyme, and so I suppose it is a splendid effort, but if you had written it in plain prose, I could have understood it a great deal better and read it a great deal more easily.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
