The band was formed in late 1979 by Dave Carson (vocals), Graeme High (guitar), Dougie Barrie (bass), and Stuart Wright (drums).

[1] Former Thursdays guitarist Mike Barclay then replaced High, who joined Delta 5.

The band also added ex-Shake/Rezillos guitarist Jo Callis for second single "Rain Song", issued in March 1981.

[1] Callis then left to join The Human League, with no further line-up changes before third single "Ooh Bop Sh'Bam" was released in early 1982.

Between line-up changes, the band recorded two sessions for John Peel's BBC radio show, in 1980 and 1981.
