Short-lived 1980s California synth-pop project that came after Q and prior to Stacey Q's and Jon St. James' solo careers. Members worked in various arrangements both before and after SSQ's existence. In a radio interview on September 22, 2006, Swain revealed that the idea for the name SSQ actually came from Jon St. James. She said that he was fishing in a lake "no bigger than a bathtub" and made a joke that the boat was the "S.S. Q," a reference to his and Stacey's current band, Q.
SSQ was a 1980s synthpop outfit formed from the already-in-existence band Q (named after the James Bond character).
