After The Honeys disbanded singer Andrea Croft and guitarist Bruce Begley formed Snow Leopards as a new outlet for Begley's songwriting. Begley brought in experienced musicians, creating a lineup with guitarist Paul Nagel, bassist Andrew Ingram (ex-Rhythm Pigs), drummer Peter Kelly (ex-Vanilla Chainsaws), and vocalists Greg Atkinson (ex-Ups and Downs), Lisa Partington (ex-The Rose Mary's), and Kylie Adams.
The Snow Leopards released a mini-album and one full length album on Waterfront Records, leading to a national tour, frequent airplay on JJJFM, a live performance for "Live at the Wireless," and music videos featured on ABC’s Rage. They climbed into the Top 10 of the Alternative ARIA charts and played regularly at various venues. Their track "Coco Pops" was included on the Roo Art 'Young Blood 3' compilation album, which opened doors to tours with The Fauves, The Clouds, The Welcome Mat, and other notable independent bands of the 90s. However, the band was short-lived and it was all over in a matter of moments. Bruce Begley died in 2016.
