Indie act formed late 1989 by Laurieston born Terry Bickers (vocals / guitar, ex-House Of Love), Christian Hayes (guitar, ex-Cardiacs), Bob White (keyboards), Joe Allen (bass) & Dave Francollini (drums, ex-Something Pretty Beautiful). After signing to Ultimate Records, they delivered a couple of singles in 1991, follwed by an aclaimed debut album in 1992. Switching to Rough Trade, the band delivered their second album, "Need For Not" in 1992, by which time Allen had been replaced by Laurence O'Keefe (ex-Jazz Butcher). Bickers announced that he was leaving the following year, just after their final single for new label Chrysalis.
