I first became aware of them when Kate guested on **Raising Hope**. She was obviously meant to be a one-off, but they kept her has a character and she sang [the doorbell song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4SpCBvnFXM), which was so utterly charming that I went to see more online.

What I love is the way they sing about raunchy things in their innocent and matter-of-fact way.
