The band consisted of Alex Fyans (Drums), Mark Collins (Guitar), James Knox (Vocals, Harmonica) and Manny Lee (Bass, Backing Vocals).

In 1990 the band moved to the Midnight Music label, and recorded a second album "Re-invent The Wheel" co-produced by Kevin Harris. After recording was completed, Fyans left the group to be replaced by Adrian Donohue. The band relaunched themselves as Candlestick Park. One single - All The Time In The World - was issued from the album sessions, and a collaboration with Manchester based House producers K-Klass was mooted. However the album was never issued and the band split, as Collins went on to greater success with The Charlatans (aka Charlatans UK)
