[3] In 1989, the band's debut album Funk-O-Metal Carpet Ride, including “All Lips ’N’ Hips” was a success in Europe, and they picked up a strong following in Britain,[7] where, as well as headlining small clubs, they supported Thunder the following year.

Their critically acclaimed debut album spawned the self-produced Billboard Top 20 single, “All Lips ’N’ Hips” that got them heavy rotation on MTV.

The original lineup of the band (Bloom, Christell, Santunione, and Sigevall) reformed in 2009 and released And Them Boys Done Swang in 2011.

[11] They released the album Ups!de Down in 2021 on Mighty Music, featuring a returning Martin Thomander on guitar, again replacing Santunione.
