[1] Best known for winning CBC Television's 1985 music competition Rock Wars and being named Best Vocal Group in the 1986 edition of Star Search,[1] the band ultimately released just one Juno Award-nominated album before dissolving.
The band consisted of singer and keyboardist Warren "Slim" Williams, singer and guitarist Kat Dyson, bassist Harold Fisher, saxophonist Ingrid Stitt and drummer Eric Roberts,[2] and was formed in 1978 after Williams, Dyson and Roberts all moved to Montreal, Quebec from their original home in Norfolk, Virginia.
[4] In their early years, the band regularly performed both in Montreal and on tour,[4] recorded the single "Plastic People" b/w "Love's Gonna Get You",[5] and recorded and performed as a backing band for acts such as Louise Portal, Michel Pagliaro, Boule Noire, Freddie James and Véronique Béliveau.
[16] The band had begun recording songs for its second album[17] when the project was put on a brief hiatus so that several members, including Dyson, could perform in Donald K. Tarlton's production of Dream of a Lifetime, a musical about the life of Marvin Gaye.
Dyson went on to success as a session musician, joining Prince's band The New Power Generation before going on to perform and tour with Donny and Marie, Cyndi Lauper, Pink, Seal, George Clinton, Phoebe Snow and Big Mama Thornton.
