Formed in 1980 by ex-member of The Wendy Tunes Gaz Birtles and ex collaborator of Black Gorilla, John Barrow, both saxophonists. They released their first single as a duo in 1981 and then recruited synth and trumpet player Dean Sargent and keyboardist Mark O’Hara. They released six singles with a sound based heavily on the saxes.
