The band was formed by students at Nottingham School of Art (now Nottingham Trent University, School of Art and Design), who needed a band for a film that fellow students John Crumpton and Graham Langford were making called 'One More Chance'[1] about a fading rock and roll star, Shane Ventura.
Having completed the film, the band started playing gigs, and writing their own songs, mostly written by Stephenson.
A second single "It's Hard" / "My Time in a While" was issued on State Records, but Grainger, their manager, could not agree an album deal.
After the band split, Booth compiled a double album of their work, including live and studio recordings.
In 2004 there were two reunion concerts in Nottingham and one in London at former manager John Eichler's pub 'The Three Kings', Clerkenwell.
[7] [2] The 2006 video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, features an airline named after the band.
The company logo, partially inspired by Australian airline Qantas, is that of a plane flying downwards and its slogan is called "The Last Resort".
