Bio:
Late 1980s indie pop band with Derek Herbert (ex Les Enfants),
Pat Dunne (ex Pop Mecanics) and Greg Boland (ex
Suppy Demand & Curve,
Stagalee). Dave Bell had previously been with
Passion Machine and The Epidemix.
All songs composed by Derek Herbert, Patrick Donne and Colin Boland.
They attempted to combine the strengths of the principals
previous bands but they fall somewhat short (I say this based
on having heard the first two singles only). The music is Pop / Soul / Funk
with a hard edge and female backing singers.
First demo recorded in 1987 included the unreleased track "Crime".
They self-released at least three singles. There are four singles overall.
The fourth is missing from this discography -- please get in touch if
you know the details. Tracks recorded by the band include
"You'll Never Never Know", "You Can't Stop Me Shaking", "I Lie Low",
and "Sweethearts and Charlatans".
Note there is no error in the catalogue numbers; there are two releases with #3.
Other/later members included Eric Sharpe (guitar), Paul Bushnell (bass)
and Sean Gormley (bass). Backing vocals were by Billie Webster and
Karin Parks (on the mini-LP) while Felim Gormley provided occasional sax.
