[edit] Band history
The band formed in late 2004, in London.
Their two sell-out singles were played on Radio 1, BBC 6Music, Xfm, and WFMU. The girls have also played sessions for Marc Riley on BBC 6Music, have been interviewed on Phill Jupitus's 6Music's breakfast show twice, plus sessions for Resonance FM, and WFMU in New York. The band's Technicolor mayhem videos have been on heavy rotation at every Topshop in Europe, and Gonna Rip Up Your Photograph won the accolade of being voted in the shop's top 40 videos of the year.
The band has toured extensively, and have gained plaudits across the UK, in the USA, Spain, France, Holland, Belgium, Norway, Ireland, and Switzerland. They've played festivals from Benidorm's Wild Weekend to the Glastonbury festival, Leeds Carling Weekend, Bestival, The Big Chill, Lost Vagueness, Litfest, Italy's Festival Beat 15 and Ireland's Electric Picnic. They have played with bands including The Cramps, The Damned, Art Brut, The Subways, The Rezillos, The Monks, The 5,6,7,8s, and were once supported by James Blunt.
