This very short live, obscure pop/rock band was formed in Oslo, Norway, in 1987 by 3 Norwegian musicians - Dag Kolsrud, Camilla Griehsel, and Jan Gisle. In 1988, they released their debut album ‘Mirror’ under A&M Records. The album’s first singles “Downtown” became a big hit in Europe, topping the Norway chart and became no.24 hit in Netherland. Although the song barely missed the Top40 on UK chart, it did become a Top40 hit in US – landed at no.37 on Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1989. The song’s popularity encouraged A&M Records to plan to release 3 more singles of the band. However, the trio already decided to split before the release plan took place, and therefore solidified their status as a one-hit wonder.
