The group's first recordings were composed and produced in 1986 with Sheridan's longtime friend Jonah Koslen, and released as the soundtrack for an episode of MGM's TV series F.A.M.E. which guest starred Bramlett. Soon The Knack's drummer Bruce Gary suggested that they add Crespo to their line up. After Koslen left the group, they tried a series of notable drummers until Taylor ultimately fit best.
In spite of the critic's raves and great national press and television exposure, the group split apart due to drug problems and the eventual marital breakup of founders Sheridan and Bramlett. Several CDs worth of material still await a number of legal battles before they can be released.
