In the early 1990s, Sam (formerly named "Sarah") and Gert played in an amateur band, The Basement Plugs. This led to the discovery of Sam, who was offered a chance by a label; mainly because of his smoky, enigmatic voice. Under the name "Sarah Beth", he appeared on several movie soundtracks with covers including "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" (originally by Hank Williams) for the movie "Vrouwen Willen Trouwen" (Women Want To Marry) and a duet with Frankie Miller, "Why Don't You Try Me", (originally by Ry Cooder) for the movie "Ad Fundum". He was offered a contract and formed a band with his brother Gert. The band was named The Choice and in 1994 they recorded their debut album "The Great Subconscious Club".
