The band was based in London, UK, from 1990 to 1993, and went through several line-up changes. Eventually, one surviving member from the original line-up migrated to the South of France and kept the name going with new members and Lionel Lopez who had done a short stint with the band in their last London incarnation. Line-up at the time of the It'll Take A While single was : Thierry Thannières - lead guitar. Mitch McBain (aka M. D. Ranged) - lead vocals. Barry - drums. Freddy Bonetti (aka Freddy Bird) - bass, backing vocals. Marc Duran - rhythm guitar, backing vocals. The band then shrank to a 2-piece (McBain, guitar, vocals, & Duran, guitar, backing vocals, Korg bass, and machines) for a series of gigs before Thannières rejoined. The line-up for the cover of Suicide's "Sweetheart" on "Your Invitation To Suicide" was M. McBain on lead vocals, M. Duran on backing vocals, rhythm guitar, and programming, T. Thannières on backing vocals and violin, and Stefano Costantini from the A-10 on guitar and backing vocals. All original material was written by Mitch McBain with vetting from the other members. Marc Duran recorded and produced the material at Dinosaur Studio, bar the two tracks included on the Total Invasion compilation recorded in Sète, France.
