Miranda's Beach was formed in the winter of 2002 by painter Miranda Vincent and filmmaker Ben Abbo. During this time Miranda was being influenced by Frida Kahlo, Pentangle's 'Basket of Light', Rasputina, Renee Sparks, secret portals (yet to be discovered!) and the mournful cry of the ice cream van.
Ben grew up on the Beatles, punk and fruit machine scams. The result is their debut CD Crazy Paradise which is a neo-folk pop classic.
