Angie Hart
Angela Ruth Hart (born 8 March 1972) billed as Angie Hart is an Australian pop singer best known for her role as lead vocalist in the alternative pop rock band Frente! and the Indie pop duo Splendid with her then husband Jesse Tobias. Hart was a founding member of Frente! in 1989. She is renowned for her delicate songcraft, lyrics, and breathy vocals.
Early life
Born in Adelaide, South Australia, she has an older sister, Rebecca, also a musician. Her parents were Christians from a missionary background. The family moved to Tasmania while Hart was still a baby where they lived in a Christian commune until she was 10 years old. They then moved to Melbourne to join another commune where they remained until Hart was 15 when, with the separation of her parents, the family left the church altogether.
It was this family disruption which led Hart to the Punters Club, a live music venue on Brunswick Street in Fitzroy, one of Melbourne's eclectic and bohemian inner suburbs. She frequented the venue to play pool and drink, though she was still under the legal drinking age. It often fell to bartender Simon Austin to eject her from the premises. Hart's older sister was also bartending at the Punters Club in 1989 and when Austin, a guitarist and songwriter, mentioned he was starting a band and looking for a singer, Becky Hart suggested her little sister Angie. Austin and Hart began writing songs together almost immediately, and with the already-recruited bass player Tim O'Connor and drummer Mark Picton, Frente! was born.

Eat My Shadow
by: Angie HartKeep it simple
Keep it true
Make the message come from you
No need for eloquence
Poetry might just offend...me
I don’t want a love letter written by your clever friend
I don’t want sentiments
‘cause somebody said I’d like them
Come on funny guy
you’re the reason I
am standing here
you gotta believe
Come on honey
Take a deep breath
and make me sigh
You got what I need
You gotta believe me
You’re invited to attend
Bring yourself and be my friend
Don’t talk if it’s pretend
We can sit in awkward silence
I don’t want a dress rehearsal
drop the lines and reel me in
You hooked me from the start
When you thought I wasn’t watching
Come on funny guy
you’re the reason I
am standing here
you gotta believe
Come on honey
Take a deep breath
and make me sigh
You got what I need
You gotta believe me
Believe me
Believe me
Believe me
