Sally Carr was performing with another band in the pub circuit in and around Glasgow. Sally had decided to emigrate to America and she was looking for short term work to earn enough money to pay her fare. She heard that the Sofisticats were looking for a girl to sing with them for three months, and this arrangement suited her perfectly. One evening she turned up at the restaurant where they were playing and introduced herself. After a short rehearsal one evening with Ken and the band leader, Sally joined the band for the three month period. The new Karen and the Sofisticats was up and running.

During this time, three of the boys were keen to develop a programme of rock and pop material and they decided to perform as a three part harmony group in bars around the east end of Glasgow on nights when Karen and the Sofisticats were not performing.
