Information

The group formed in 1988, modelling their make-up and image on glam rock acts such as David Bowie and T. Rex. As their music matured, they began to draw on influences such as grunge (Nirvana), hair metal (Def Leppard) and even progressive rock (for instance on the track "Rainbow Man" from SICKS). In January 2001, the band released their final single Primal and did a farewell concert in Tokyo Dome, and broke up in 2004.
