The Daughters of Eve were an American all-female garage rock band formed in Chicago, Illinois in 1965. The group was formed and managed by Carl Bonafede, who was managing The Buckinghams as they were gaining national success. The Daughters of Eve are considered the first female rock band from Chicago, and the group released four singles during their existence, all produced by Bonafede, before disbanding in 1968. The band soon gained a considerable following of both male and female fans. As Levin stated, regarding the audience, "We had a good sound and a good energy, and the audience was always very receptive, just thrilled. I never felt like any one was looking at us going 'Oh my god, who do they think they are?' It was like, 'Wow, you guys are great, and you're girls!'". Once the band became well known in Chicago, they began touring within the Midwest, and opened for contemporaries in the Chicago rock scene like The Shadows of Knight, The Cryan' Shames, and The Buckinghams. Since the bandmates were under the age of 16, many of the clubs they performed in required adult supervision and forbidding them to sit outside the stage. The band was featured as a backing band in local programming with Janis Ian to support the release of her song "Society's Child". In 1966, the band signed to a contract with USA Records to produce their first single "Hey Lover" b/w "Stand by Me" and their second one, "Symphony of My Soul" b/w "Help Me Boy". They both failed to chart nationally, but it became a popular release in the Chicago area that they would tour to promote. For their next releases, the band changed bass players, first with Marilou Davidson and then Lori Wax.
