Band Formed
The band formed when singer songwriter Cindy Ryan went into a studio in 1997 to record a solo album. But after working with the session musicians on her album including Genevieve Maynard and Pat Hayes who was a former member of The Falling Joys, she decided to form a band with them. Stella One Eleven’s first album “Mr Big Car” was released in 1999.
Stella One Eleven released their second album 'In Your Hands' in late 2000. The second album “In Your Hands” was nominated for two ARIA awards in October 2001 and generated a top 30 single on the Australian charts in 2001. The album also made the Alternative Top 20 album chart in late 2000. The band also wrote the theme song for “Youth Week” in Australia and were official Youth Week ambassadors.

Famous quotes containing the words band and/or formed:
“What passes for identity in America is a series of myths about one’s heroic ancestors. It’s astounding to me, for example, that so many people really seem to believe that the country was founded by a band of heroes who wanted to be free. That happens not to be true. What happened was that some people left Europe because they couldn’t stay there any longer and had to go someplace else to make it. They were hungry, they were poor, they were convicts.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
“I will frankly declare, that after passing a few weeks in this valley of the Marquesas, I formed a higher estimate of human nature than I had ever before entertained. But alas! since then I have been one of the crew of a man-of-war, and the pent-up wickedness of five hundred men has nearly overturned all my previous theories.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
