Band Members: The band was formed in November 1997 by Tom Barton, Kevin Young, Ben Hardwick, Jimmy McGarry and Alastair Machin. They played their first gig in December 1997. In early 1998 Alastair was replaced by Tom Waring on rythym guitar and the band started to play to bigger and bigger crowds.
Perfect Blue was now established with:

Early in 1999 Jimmy and Tom Waring departed and Neil Bisset took on the role of drummer for the Aesthetics album.
