They are considered a one-hit wonder, though they released an EP, two albums and several singles. The band was formed in 1983 as the brainchild of Lead Vocalist/Keyboardist Nick Richards, who had just purchased Maison Rouge Recording Studios in London. An early version of the group released their debut EP Don't Talk to Strangers on independent UK label Legacy Records in Britain in 1983. By the mid-1980s, the band consisted of principal members Richards and keyboardist Brian Chatton (born Brian Charles Chatton, 19 July 1948, in Bolton, Lancashire), along with Jeff Seopardi on drums, Nico Ramsden on guitar, and Mark Smith on bass. Chatton had previously had a brief stint on keyboards with 1970s progressive band Jackson Heights, contributing heavily to their Ragamuffin's Fool LP. The tune "I Wanna Be a Cowboy" was released in 1986. A novelty song with deadpan humour and kitschy references, the song has been described as the perfect musical realisation of a spaghetti western movie. They would go on to release two full-length albums: a self-titled debut in 1986, which included "I Wanna Be a Cowboy," and a follow-up the following year titled Who the Am Dam do You Think We Am. The second album was simply released in America as "Boys Don't Cry," creating some confusion there, since the band now had two consecutive self-titled albums released within a year of each other. Follow-up single to "Cowboy" was (necessarily perhaps) a complete departure; "Cities On Fire", an energetic rush of synth-rock which was released in 7" and 12" remix form, received early attention from MTV but failed to connect with fans of the novelty hit and didn't receive enough play to create a new fanbase.
