They released their first album 'Isometric Boogie' in 1988, and TV appearances followed on BBC's Jukebox Jury, MTV Europe, Jools Holland's Happening, and ITV's Night Network and First Exposure. The band toured constantly in the UK, Europe and the US from 1989 to 1993, sharing stages with the likes of Dr Feelgood, Desmond Dekker, Albert Lee, Steve Harley, Debbie Harry and Jools Holland. In 1991 they composed and recorded the theme and incidental music for the Central TV comedy drama Gone To The Dogs starring Jim Broadbent, Alison Steadman and Harry Enfield. Their second album Gone To The Dogs, consisting of songs written for and inspired by the TV show, was released around the same time the series aired. Later that same year they composed and recorded the soundtrack music to 'Fools & Horses' Christmas special Miami Twice. Their Failsafe EP was released featuring their cover of The Lovin Spoonful song Summer In The City which had been used as the title song. In early 1993 a live album Already Dead was released, and the band split later that year when lead singer Tony returned to live in his native New Orleans.
