Their primitive sound was established early on by the cheap overdriven amps of Mona and Miss K, underpinned by a monotonous and brutally deprogrammed drum machine (a BOSS Dr Rhythm, beloved of early rap artists) and Luis' Sid Vicious-esque bass and performance style. Above this backing, Holly and Jasmine would shout in an atonal call-response shouted style. The group's reputation as an unpredictable live act was well founded, and they gigged sporadically wherever anyone would put them on, playing nights like Smashing, Alcohol, Nux Vomica, Kitsch Bitch, Vaseline, Cinergy and Club Kitten, and in the genderqueer subculture including two Pride festivals in 1996.
