Duncan and Fraser met in 1988 and conceived of Sheep On Drugs while ruminating on the potential direction of the burgeoning acid house scene of the late 1980s.
Fraser had played various instruments in bands since he was 14 and had experimented with sampling prior to meeting Duncan, but together they were inspired to create electronic music with a more energetic stage presence.
[1] Originally classified as part of the rave movement, the duo emerged in the early 1990s with a string of singles, including "Catch 22",[2] "Motorbike", "15 Minutes of Fame" and "Track X" (later covered by Grace Jones as "Sex Drive").
[7][5] However, with their Grand Guignol style stage shows, and a musical mixture of sleazy rock, hard techno and punk nihilism, SoD found themselves pigeonholed as an industrial band.
[1] With Invisible, they released the two EPs as Double Trouble in 1996,[10] their third studio album, One for the Money and a remix collection, Never Mind the Methadone in 1997, and a live recording, Two for the Show in 1998.
Fraser continued his relationship with Invisible Records, releasing two more albums as "Bagman", and was briefly a member of Atkins' bands Pigface and The Damage Manual, usually under the moniker "Lee 303".
