Formed in Huntingdon Cambridgeshire after drummer Simon Scott met Guitarist Graham Garduilo in local band The Giant Polar Bears. They were tour buddies to Ride and most of the late 1980s shoegaze bands. Simon Scott was stolen by Slowdive after a gig at the White Horse in Hampstead in 1990, where the Boo Radleys opened the three-band bill. They split after releasing two albums and have just had a Best Of… released by Cherry Red. John Peel loved them and NME gave debut album lovehappy 9 out of 10. Simon now plays with his own band Televise. Graham and singer Petra Roddis are teachers in London.

i've been a shoegaze fan forever but have only heard of these guys today. Checked out their compilation 'Liar' , fantastic stuff. It's funny, they have flown under the radar; rarely do you hear of them even on messageboards/blogospheres etc. Either way, very pleasant find here for me.

It's strange so few listeners since they got pretty good airplay (clip included) in their heyday

Better than most of the shit that passes off for contemporary shoegaze.

shame they how much they went under the radar, especially since they were a part of the original movement
