O'Connor's band Pup has been together for more than four years. Only months after hook- ing up, they were in a recording studio working on a demo. They've now produced two CDs.

She said it's necessary for each of them to keep everything in perspective so they don't get lost in the whole idea of stardom. "We're all grounded. We might never make it," she said. O'Connor said with the help of an interested friend with con- nechons, they engineered their demo. He liked what they produced and mentioned them to Marshmallow records, a label which had never signed a rock band and believed Pup should be the first.
