Official music video for "Perfect View" by The Graces, which featured Go-Go's guitarist Charlotte Caffey on lead vocals as well as pre-"I'm A Bitch" singer Meredith Brooks on guitar and Gia Ciambotti.
This song was the title track and second single from the debut LP "Perfect View" but failed to chart. In 1991, the band was dropped by their record company, at which point Meredith Brooks left to pursue a solo career. She was replaced by former House Of Schock member Chrissy Shefts, but just as they were about to be signed to a new record deal in 1992, Gia Ciambotti was offered a job in Bruce Springsteen's band and the group officially called it quits.
Caffey formed another group in the mid-nineties called 'Astrid's Mother' (her daughter Astrid had been born in 1995) but the band proved to be short-lived. Since then, she has spent most of her time being a full-time mom as well as co-writing songs with/for other artists including Hole, the Murmurs and Keith Urban (who scored a number one country hit with a Caffey/Wiedlin co-written song "But For The Grace Of God). She also started her own record label with sister-in-law Anna Waronker (formerly of Los Angeles band That Dog) called Five Foot Two Records, which has put out new recordings from Waronker and The Muffs, as well as re-issued the classic "Neurotica" album by husband Jeff McDonald's band Redd Kross. She continues to work with a reunited Go-Go's, co-writing much of the 2001 album 'God Bless The Go-Go's' and performing live with the band annually. Caffey and Waronker also composed the music for "Lovelace - A Rock Opera", a musical based on the life of porn star Linda 'Deep Throat' Lovelace which premiered in Los Angeles at the Hayworth Theatre in late 2008.
