They continue to thrill local audiences and have had the oportunity to reach wider audiences supporting The Warm Jets and Cornershop.

In 1998 the band released their debut single, "Silverado" on Bearos Records (Bearos001). They followed this with a split single with fellow Brummies, the Starries, (Bearos002) and more recently with their aclaimed triple 7" pack "Somewhere Forever Inside" (Bearos007)which was produced by Broadcast (Warp Records). The band will spend the early part of 2000 touring with fellow Bearos artists, Grover and The Starries. |
