Despite wide publicity, particularly surrounding their second single, "Shut Your Mouth", combined with a certain amount of internet-based success,[1] their most successful chart hit was "Dirty Water" which reached number 15 in the UK Singles Chart in May 2000.[2] Following the release of "Wishing Well", a cover version of the 1987 Terence Trent D'Arby song, the group disbanded.
Australian girl group Bardot later covered "Dirty Water" for their second album, Play It Like That.
The trio's debut album 'Perfect Storm' was planned to be released after "Shut Your Mouth". However, as "Shut Your Mouth" did not garner the anticipated chart success (UK #74),[2] the album was cancelled prior to its release. It was eventually made available on streaming services in March 2022.
Former member, Sherene Dyer, is now known professionally as Sherii Ven Dyer. Ven Dyer is currently pursuing solo endeavours.
