Biography
Pseudo-electro / new-wave outfit known for their bizarre hit ‘Pulsing‘, which comes across as a parody of early electronic bands these days (primarily Kraftwerk and New Order). Created by record impresario Alan Jansson (performing as Alan Jimson).

Actor Garry Smith provided the face and lead vocals of the group, giving an extra-level quirkiness to their look and sound. The Spines bassist Wendy Calder joined the group for their latter releases.
