Cause and Effect
Band Sacramento United States Formed 1990 American synthpop band
Cause and Effect formed in 1990 in Sacramento, United States. Cause and Effect has 9 chart appearances on 6 radio countdowns from 4 stations on RockLists, spanning 1992–1999. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “You Think You Know Her”, which appears on 5 lists with a best position of #18.

Cause & Effect, the duo of Robert Rowe and Sean Rowley, came out of Sacramento, California, in 1990 with sleek, moody synth-pop: glistening keyboards, crisp programmed beats and Rowe's lead vocal riding on top.
Their self-titled debut album gave them "You Think You Know Her", a sharp, hooky single built for the dance floor, along with "What do you See" and "Another Minute". They were only minor hits in the US, but alternative radio held on to them.
Trip followed in 1994, and "It's Over Now" showed them still chasing that blend of melancholy and motion.
