Animal Logic (band)

Animal Logic is the name of a band (and its eponymous first release) formed in 1987 by ex-Police drummer Stewart Copeland, virtuoso bassist Stanley Clarke, and singer-songwriter Deborah Holland. The group recorded two albums under the auspices of Police manager Miles Copeland before disbanding, with nearly all the songs recorded supplied by Holland.

Copeland's former bandmate in The Police, guitarist Andy Summers, was also a member of the group in its initial stages when it was known as "Rush Hour", but left following a short Brazilian tour in late 1987 prior to the recording of the first album.

The band purchased the name (for $5,000) from the original Animal Logic band, which was based out of Harrisonburg, Virginia, and led by Rob Hatch of Fairfax, Virginia, who is now a film producer.
