Formed in Manchester in 1989. Signed to Factory Records by the late, great, Tony Wilson after seeing them live at a sold out show in The Boardwalk later that year.

Debut single Shall We Take A Trip?/Moody Places was released in June 1990, produced by Iain Broudie (Lightning Seeds) and engineered by Cenzo Townshend. It was banned by daytime radio because of obvious drug references throughout the song, yet still managed to hit the UK Charts at number 50, with virtually no airplay.
