Die erste Veröffentlichung, die Maxisingle „Flowers through the air“, sowie das Debütalbum „Prayer for the Halcyon Fear“ erschienen 1985 auf Temple Records. Von 1988 bis 1994 war die Band auf ausgedehnten Tourneen in den USA.

Zu späteren Mitgliedern der Band zählen: Stuart Hake (Cello), John Mastro (Drums), Catherine Bent (Cello), Andy Burton (Piano, Orgel) und Ron Howden (Drums).

Dave Dreiwitz spielt seit 1997 Bass bei Ween, Jane Scarpantoni war als Cellistin zu hören u.a. bei Lou Reed, Indigo Girls, Bruce Springsteen und Adam Green. John Hamilton und Donna Croughn sind privat ein Paar und haben zwei Kinder, John arbeitet als Professor an der Harvard University.
