The Montreal band was formed in 1971 and released their first single that same year, the song National Blues, which made it into the top 30 Canadian songs. After that, they were signed to release an album, but the producers were horrified that the band had only one song in addition to the two songs released on the single. As a result, their only album was released in 1973. And although the album included the song Hollywood Eyes, which made it into the top ten Canadian hit parades, the band broke up. The band played fairly simple rock, in places very well, with hints of this, the guitar and keys sound more than serious
