CHRIS BOWERS - cyberbabe - Vocals, guitar & keyboards. Singer, songwriter and composer. Inspired by the Clash, Dragonball and Courtney Love's lipstick.Plays a blue Fender Strat "Rocketbaby". Co-owns Shazza Music. Lives an 80% vegan life with Jimmy Hendrix. Humours Sharon by accompanying her to crap discos and cheesy concerts! Previous bands: The Adaptors, The Front Line, Mike Burn & Friends and various one-off musical ventures! Currently: Lead singer for "Thinking Out Loud HK" and lead singer for "Guitars and Panties" plus lead guitarist for Flowers of Babylon and guitarist for "Smoking Monkeys". Has various hobbies including organising beauty contests and video-taping drunk friends. Sometimes seen MCing at Underground events....
These days can be found listening to: Linkin Park, Britney Spears, Green Day and Rick Strom.....
MOST LIKELY TO BE SEEN: In black pvc, on stage & really weird clothes that she likes to wear........KIM FALKINGHAM - Vocals & guitar. Composer, lyricist and producer. Co-owns Shazza Music. Introduced Sharon to Sonic Youth, Iggy Pop, David Bowie and Lydia Lunch.
Will listen to anyone who is creative and original, just that little bit wonderfully different. Now plays a seven year old Fender Strat. Started playing the guitar 11 years ago to write songs and found a way to get the songs out of her head and to the public. Has performed in many different bands and also as a soloist but mainly for the Sisters of Sharon. Previous bands: Free Vern, The English Eccentrics, Mothership, Alive and The Front Line.
MOST CREATIVE MOMENT: In the middle of a really good musical jam - when it all just comes together like magic!JILL EASON - Bass. Song writer and composer.
Inspired by 70's funk and punk; Chilli Peppers and On-U sound. Plays a Yahama semi-acoustic made in the early seventies. Picked up the bass to play in the Sisters and found a unique style that grooves and throbs....... Previous to that, her greatest musical achievements had been 'Three Blind Mice' on the recorder age 12 (no instrument more likely to put you off playing music) Thankfully, she changed her attitude from "I can't play that" to "I don't know, I've never tried" and found the bass to be the right instrument for her. Upsets Sharon by not taking her fashion advice.
MOST CHALLENGING GIG : At The Wanch - having to play most of the night on 3 strings after breaking her A string and not having a spare.........EMMA FEATHERSTONE - Drums. Jumping onto the drumstool with ease,
Emma joined the Sisters at the beginning of the Year of the Tiger..... With a musical background and a total lack of self control. Previous bands; The Virgin Mary's, Spiders, and Miss Venezuela. Inspired by Metallica's metallic metal and complete lack of any control. Emma plays solo cymbal with passion and loves making people perspire. Favourite quote "Toughen Up". Thoughts about joining the Sisters of Sharon "Who is Sharon, man?"
GREATEST MUSICAL MOMENT - when her drums caught on fire in a dark seedy pub! Never underestimate the power of a drummer.
SHARON - Triangle.![]()
But she always misses the beat, so we've stopped letting her play with us.

BONNIE NG - Drums.
Branching out into percussion. Likes songs with feelings. Plays drums with mental image of an electrical toy; a bear carrying and striking the tom-tom in front of his tum-tum! Being a qualified nurse, Bonnie uses nursing to take care of the audience & music to take care of her patients. Previous bands: Welkins.
Bonnie has now left the Sisters of Sharon
