Formed in 1977, Stroud, London England. The band's core line-up has remained remarkably stable Nick Barrett (1978-present), Peter Gee (1978-present) and Clive Nolan (joined in 1986) even as these individual members participated in multiple solo and or other projects.
Long time drumer Fudge Smith (ex-LaHost, Henry Fool), left the band in 2006.
