[edit] Career

They are frontman Nigel Clark (bass), Andy Miller (guitar) and Mathew Priest (drums).

Redditch's Clark and Priest met Londoner Andy Miller whilst swimming after placing an advert "Jimmy Page required" in the magazine Loot.

The band's debut album, produced by The Lightning Seeds' Ian Broudie, demonstrated a comprehensive grasp of classic British pop influences particularly from the late 1960s.[citation needed] In many ways the album pre-dated the Brit-pop sound that would come to dominate the scene with the arrival of Oasis.

While Clark was absent from 1998 to 2007 to pursue on going solo projects, Priest and Miller continued the band as a five piece joined by the vocalist David Bassey; keyboardist Chris Hallam, and bass player Nick Abnett. This line up of the group would record one album, Real Estate, released in 2001. This album was produced and mixed with Robin Evans at T-Pot Studios in Scotland (funded with help from the fans).

The original line up of the band, Clark, Miller, and Priest, returned with a live album, So Far On 3 Wheels - Dodgy On The Radio, in October 2007.

As of November 2007, the reunion is on hold, as guitarist Miller has chipped a bone in his arm.
