Their collective influences, encompassing T. Rex, Jane’s Addiction and Prince, were revealed on their debut single, ‘Pop Singer’, released in March 1996. It was co-produced by the band with Dave Eringa. Shortly after completing a debut album, however, they were dropped by their record company who were disturbed by the band’s experimental tendencies. Ryder-Prangley and Crewdson regrouped with Shaheena Dax (keyboards) and Robin Guy (drums), releasing several independent label singles and garnering a loyal live following for their energetic, tacky and thoroughly decadent brand of glam rock.
