The band comprised Matt Thomas (guitar/vox), Becky Thomas (vox), Nick Gill (guitar) and Andrea Vendy (drums)Josh Alexander (guitar). They are best known for their 1998 synth-driven single "Cry", which appeared on the Triple J Hottest 100, 1998; they also performed the song on Hey Hey It's Saturday.

In late 2000, they followed with the single "Happiness" which appeared on a television advertisement for Coca-Cola and Australian Hyundai Motor Company, which the company original slogan was ‘Hyundai is happiness’.

Since their split, their keyboardist/singer Rebecca Thomas has gone on to front the rock band Beki and the Bullets. Matt Thomas fronts "The Blow waves"
