The Blake Babies were Juliana Hatfield's earlier band. She has since had a
minor hit with a song called "My sister", an appearance as a singing
angel/ghost on the quickly defunct "My So-Called Life", and received a
great deal of press coverage about her virginity.
As for TRP influences, there are none that I know of. However, the name of
the band IS a reference to William Blake, so it wouldn't be out of the
question.
