South-African band formed in 1982. Essentially a string of studio projects realised by Warric Swinney aka Warrick Sony at Shifty Studios during the 1980's. The recordings involved various personnel from that environment whose names were altered or simply reduced to first names to safeguard against security dirty tricks persecution. The band itself was a fictional collective designed to dodge any flak that may have appeared from these forces. Nowadays Swinney is the only remaining member.

The first release was inspired by the do-it-yourself punk ethic: the Gross National Product cassette was packaged in a silver spray painted box containing 60 minutes of music all recorded in a bedroom on a 4 track portastudio.

Being a white English South African means being schizophrenic. It means not having a firm foot in any culture, but also it means being priviledged to be exposed to many wildly diverse aspects of social life. A tapestry of influences.
