(c’86-’88) Kendall Sparks (drums), Dean Low (guitar), Bobby Cass (bass), and Pippa Mitchener (vocals).

This Aldershot group, who’d originally considered Man Made Soul as a name, debuted at the West End Centre, Aldershot supporting Drink Britain Dry. On 4 May ’88 they were one of the bands, along with West One, Paper Moon, and UxB, at Battle for the Limelight held at Princes Hall, Aldershot. Sparks left the band after the first couple of gigs and was replaced by Vince Southey of West One.

The band were once more at the West End Centre for a local band night on 2 September ’88, with The F1-11s, supporting West One.

Southey left us in the early 2000s, as did bassist Cass in 2020. Low would form acoustic duo Deano & Co sometime in the 2000s. As of 2024, Mitchener is still performing in Self Preservation Society and Man Made Soul (funnily enough).
