[edit] History
Around 1997 with the release of their Risotto, Fluke adopted a character from the Wipeout computer game, Ariel Tetsuo, as their official mascot.[1] They were, at around this time, also looking for a female vocalist to perform with them in their live sets and Stewart fit both these roles. Described as a "female version of Keith Flint from The Prodigy"[2] and with Fluke's performances in decline she joined forces with EMF frontman James Atkin to form Beauty School in 2004. in 2005, Beauty School were joined by Elastica drummer Justin Welch making the band into a three piece.[3]
