Luedy was former bassist in the band MonaLisa Overdrive, later known as Barbie Bones, while Unneland and Tysse had been rhythm section in The Rub and Pompel and the Pilts.
[1] Their debut album Everybody Likes Chocolate (1992) was no great success, and Warner connected the band with Swedish star producer Michael Ihlbert, and the second album Sugar Baby became more of a success, as an open and accessible record, with guest performances by artists like Sonya Aurora Madan of Echobelly, PapaDee and Geir Sundstøl.
Whatever was first released in the United States and Canada in 1997 on the label Bar None, while the Norwegian fans had to wait until the spring of 1998, when a contract with Rune Grammofon was signed.
[2] The next album was produced by the band, and included guest musicians like Hildegunn Solbø (vocals), Per Jørgensen (trumpet) and Stein Inge Brækhus (drums).
The author Aksel Fugelli wrote lyrics for the band, and he and Luedy acted as a duo under the name Lou and Lee.
