Letters to Cleo

Letters to Cleo was an alternative rock band from Boston, Massachusetts perhaps best known for the 1993 single "Here & Now" from their full-length debut album Aurora Gory Alice...

, released in 1993 on the record label CherryDisc Records and re-released in 1994 on Giant Records. The first single from the album was "I See", which got little exposure. However, the second single, "Here & Now", received a lot of exposure when it was featured on the Melrose Place soundtrack a year later. The re-released version of the album contains different versions of "Rim Shak" and "Here & Now" than the original release. The difference between the two versions was that the second version had Scott Riebling playing bass, while the first release featured Brian Karp who originally played bass and wrote music for the band. A demo version of "I See" is available on the 1998 release Sister.
