Links to Peel[]
Peel played the band's debut single, 'Curry Crazy' in the spring of 1988 and described the track on his 15 April 1988 (BFBS) show as a bit silly, but worth playing. Further material from the group via their debut album, 'Choirboys Gas', were played on Peel's shows in early 1989. After his death in 2004, it was later found out that Peel had a copy of their debut album in his Record Collection: B.
