Their First single, “A lot of things’, was released in 1980 and went on to perform well in the charts, as did the follow- up single, “Nightmare” released in 1981.
They released only one album (On Loan for Evolution) and despite their South African success in the early 1980s they broke up when it became clear that overseas exposure was closed to them (as a result of the growing strength of the cultural boycott against apartheid South Africa).
