History

The name was shortened due to legal matters or as a gesture to Hugh and David (pick your choice). Jaxon left after two rehearsals but guested on The Quiet Zone/The Pleasure Dome. The quartet made their debut at London's Roundhouse then on to Norway! "Speedy, primitive and quite a few three chord wonders", explained Peter Hammill.
