The band were formed on the popular television show Popstars, which aired on TVNZ's TV2 channel for nine weeks in the search for a new girl group.
Five girls, Joe Cotton, Keri Harper, Erika Takacs, Carly Binding and Megan Alatini, were taken from obscurity to instant stardom overnight while enjoying commercial success with their No.1 single "Tonight".
The planned first single 'We Kissed' was written by Carly Binding who then left the band in early 2000 citing personal differences.
In July 2006 Megan Alatini reappeared on screens in NZ Idol as the new female judge along with Iain Stables and Frankie Stevens.
Post DWTS the sisters formed a band called Nubian Angelz (Dark Angels) performing at private functions and events with the hope of recording some new music.
Joe left M2 (when it was cancelled in February 2003) and after appearing on Celebrity Treasure Island became a fill-in host on the C4 music channel show Select Live.
She has recently appeared on the shows The Great New Zealand Spelling Bee, Pop Goes The Weasel and Celebrity Joker Poker.
Keri has continued with theatre work including a stint with Michael Barrymore in Joseph And The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat.
In 2012 Megan Alatini, Joe Cotton, Keri Harper and Erica Takacs reformed the group to sing and release a single for the New Zealand Child Cancer Foundation.
