The band founded Paul Caplin, who formerly sang with the band Animal magnet, and Jeremiah Healy and Kate Garner, who moved due to their eye-catching appearance of the attention. Colorful leggings, long dreadlocks, flashy hats and long shirts clothing belonged to the repertoire of Jeremiah Healy and Kate Garner. Their appearance was reminiscent of the singer and DJ Boy George. There were also the bassist Alfie Agius, the violinist Bobby Valentino and saxophonist Simon Henry, and the two guitarists Mick and Kate Green.

The associated album " Battle Hymns for Children Singing" could offer no further hits and was also the only album the band. Since the album 's success could not continue, the band fell apart.
