Even that EP we recorded, Dave Kendall from the Throwaways suggested we put out a split 7-inch, with us... He investigated how much it would cost to get the record pressed... it was going to cost this much for a 7-inch, and only this much more for a 12-inch, so why don't we do a few songs each. Dave just happened to have it on him one day when he went shopping in Au-Go-Go and got talking to Bruce [Milne] behind the counter, and Bruce said 'yeah, I've heard of those bands' and he asked to listen to it.

They supported a tour of Australia by the 5.6.7.8's, a Japanese rock trio, in August 1991 and followed them to Japan in next month. This led to a local label, Time Bomb Records, issuing their material into that market and further support slots backing Jackie & the Cedrics, Concrete Octopus, Blow One's Cool, and Rise from the Dead.
