Shakespears Sister Biography

Shakespears Sister is a synth-pop-rock band formed by former Bananarama singer-songwriter Siobhan Fahey in 1988. It was Fahey's first musical project since leaving Bananarama. Later in 1989, American backing vocalist and guitarist Marcella Detroit was featured more as London Records presented the band as a duo. The name is taken from the title of the song "Shakespeare's Sister" by The Smiths and in reference to Virginia Woolf's work A Room of One's Own.

There have been minor variations in the spelling of the band's name over the years, which lost the final "e" from "Shakespeare" (and the apostrophe) when a friend made a woodcut logo for Fahey with the name carved as "Shakespear".

Initally a solo project, Shakespears Sister developed into a duo; then reverted to Fahey on her own again till 1996. After a 13 year hiatus, in 2009, Siobhan Fahey resurrected the name Shakespears Sister and released a new body of work.
