SHE'S LIVING A RATHER SPLEDID LIFE

Born on March 8, 1972,  Angela Ruth Hart aka Angie Hart was born in Adelaide, South Australia, she was born in a Christian Commune to a family of Christian missionaries.  Upon moving to another Christian missionary in Melbourne, Victoria,  Australia, Angie Hart developed an interest in music and alcohol tavern drinking.  She frequently drank alcohol at Fitzroy's Punters Club Hotel aka The Punters Club (Australia's version of CBGB).  Upon learning that she was underage, the bouncer at the tavern, Simon Austin escorted her out of the alcohol tavern and gave her a job as lead singer for his rock band Frente! (A different version had Angie Hart's sister Rebecca  Hart (who was a bartender at the Punters Club) was the one who got Angie Hart employed as the lead singer at Frente!).  Simon Austin and Angie Hart was a couple before breaking up.  However the breakup of the romance between Simon Austin and Angie Hart came when Frente! was starting to gain momentum and caused the group to break up after only two albums just on the verge of international success.  
Angie Hart then formed a brand new rock group called Splended.  While Frente! was mostly a collaboration between Angie Hart and Simon Austin, Splended was mostly a collaboration between Angie Hart and spouse at the time Jesse Tobias.  The marriage was the starting point for the band and the divorce was mostly the end of the band two albums later.  Angie Hart briefly tried to ressurect Splended! before releasing solo albums under her own name.
