Formed 1982 in Edinburgh by Cindy Sharp and David Clancy from the remnants of Scottish punk band The Freeze (2). They've released work with Midnight Music, World Serpent, Praxis Records (as Bambule), Bluesanct and most recently on Editions Mego. They have also collaborated with such diverse people as Cocteau Twins, Kathy Acker, Alasdair Gray, Chris Connelly (Revolting Cocks/Ministry), Somatic Responses and Toby Reynolds (Dj Scud/Wasteland.) Hard to categorize, they work within a fluid experimental framework and have, since their beginnings, incorporated sampling, musique concrète and electronics as mainstays alongside their more orthodox disintegrating rock structures. Cindy Sharp is the only consistent member of an ever-shifting line-up that still plays live and releases regularly.
