In the early 1990s, Beth, brother Jay Sorrentino (drums), and friend Ken Heitmueller (bass) formed the trio suddenly, tammy!, who released two EPs and a self-titled album on SpinART. A cover story in CMJ caught the attention of Warner Bros. Records executive Lenny Waronker, who signed the band. We Get There When We Do, their major label debut, was released in 1995, followed by an EP, Shut Up, It’s Christmas. A follow-up album, Comet, was recorded, but the band was unsigned by WB in 1996, after which the trio disbanded. (Comet was self-released digitally in 2010.)
