The Morrows formed Maybe Dolls in 1991 in Sydney as a pop music trio with Paul Wheeler on drums ( ex-Icehouse ) . Tim Powles ( ex-Venetians ) later took over on drums . In July 1992 Chris Morrow reflected on the differences between the two groups , " With our former band , The Numbers , I used to write most of the material . I tended to focus on lyrics and guitar riffs but being a singer Annalisse broadens the songs melodically . Now the voice is serving the lyrics and vice versa — the songs have got both form and content . " '' The Canberra Times '' reviewer felt that " Annalisse 's unique vocal style — equal parts pixie and banshee — has been enriched by stints singing jazz and blues in small clubs and even some techno-funk dabblings . " Their debut single , " Nervous Kid " , was released in August 1991 , and reached No . 32 on the ARIA Singles Chart . It was featured in the Australian TV soap opera , '' E Street '' . At the ARIA Music Awards of 1992 " Nervous Kid " was nominated for Breakthrough Artist – Single
