Brief history
Self-described as "the highest and lowest intellect combined into one mass" the first version of the band came and went in the late 1980s, but was reborn in New York City in 1991 when Alice Cohen (formerly of Shag Motor Pony and The Vels) came on as lead singer (and to also share work on bass guitar), joining New Orleans native Kenny Sanders and founding member Evan Player. Guitarist Shawn Tracy (a native of Sioux City, Iowa) joined the band in 1992 after meeting Evan Player at the recording studio where they both worked.
