The band consisted of Simonon on bass, American musician Gary Myrick on guitar, Nigel Dixon from the British band Whirlwind on lead vocals, and Travis Williams, a drummer who they found by a newspaper announcement. In essence, it was a rockabilly band with a heavy Latino and reggae influence. The band recorded a self-titled album in Japan in 1991.

The album, which has twelve original tracks, received solid reviews and had in "Reach the Rock" a minor radio hit.[1] Following Dixon's death on 3 April 1993 and the departure of Simonon who moved on to a career in art, Myrick put out one more album with a different line-up but it was also unsuccessful and the band broke up shortly after.

The band took their name from the title of a 1956 album by Perez Prado.
