About Me

The band was formed in protest of the music industry. While the music industry was reaching new heights with Milli Vanilli, one hit wonders and a variety of formulaic, audition boy bands, the band decided that it would form and be the first mega band that would refuse to record any music whatsoever instead selling empty jewel cases and t-shirts.
The band's defiance generated a significant group of followers and hangers on - with nearly every single person encountered begging the band to sell out -- "When are you going to record some music?" The followers even turned to taunting in an effort to get the band to sell out -- "What have you ever done?"
As the act of ultimate defiance, when the followers urged the band to "just break up already, would you" - rather than emulate the famous pattern of the Beatles, Led Zepplin, the Doors or the Who, and take the easy way out by breaking up at the peak of their stardom, the band stayed together.
Once they had established themselves as "different to say the least", the band decided it was time to sell out by finally recording music.
What you hear is not some Liam Gallagher, Oasis rock stardom, but the definition of stardom itself.
