Career
After forming in Los Angeles in the summer of 1985, the band began playing regular in clubs and venues around the area - gaining a reputation as an excellent live band. After signing with Warner Bros. Records, the band released their debut album to moderate success. It wasn't until their second album Ritual de lo Habitual (with the hit song and video "Been Caught Stealing") that the band achieved mainstream success. After only a year to enjoy their success, inter-band tensions caused the band to brake up and play their final show at the inaugural Lollapalooza festival.
