The band's lineup at that time also included Sue Metro on guitar, Jack Salerno on drums and Ed Yazijian on violin. Bass duties were covered by MaryAnn Peacott, followed later by D. Scott. Their first gig was at Cambridge, MA's legendary Middle East restaurant (now known as the upstairs back room) in the spring of 1988.

According to the Reverb Nation website, the band's record label, Harriet, delivered HRG's first single to BBC's legendary John Peel and received immediate airplay, as well as kudos from John. The result was fan mail from around Europe and a 12” EP released on the UK Blaster! label. Peel would play the band's material for the first few years on his radio programmes.
