The band split up in 2003 after releasing 2 studio albums. HistoryMuffin Spencer moved to Manchester, UK in 1986. She became the lead singer with The Exuberants and later formed Brassy.[1] Other members of the band were Stefan Gordon (guitar), Karen Frost (bass guitar, vocals), and Jonny Barrington (aka DJ Swett, drums).[2] Influenced by The Smiths, their early material also drew comparisons with Elastica.[2] Later they incorporated hip hop and punk rock influences and were compared to Beastie Boys, Plasmatics and Biz Markie.[3][4][5][6] Their earliest material was released on the Costermonger label (home to Gene). The band found favour with John Peel for whom they recorded a radio session in June 1996, with a return visit in May 2000.[7] With financial difficulties affecting Costermonger they moved on to Wiiija where they released their debut album Got It Made in 2000.[2] Their 2000 track "Play Some D" was re-released in 2003 after it was used in the 'hellomoto' ad campaign by Motorola,[3] leading to renewed interest in the band, and the recording of a second album, Gettin Wise. Gettin Wise received a mixed response from critics,[4][8][9][10] and proved to be their final album, with the band members all finding themselves in debt after recording it.[1] DiscographyAlbums
