Both of the band's albums were released on Amphion Records.[1] Their debut album, Slick Night Out, was released in 1993 and was recorded live at the Point, a concert venue in the Atlanta, Georgia neighborhood of Little Five Points. The album was recorded by Don McCollister, and included two horn players.[2] Also in 1994, the band released its second album, Ten Cent Freaks.[3]

Their sound has been described as "Frank Sinatra meets the Clash," as "Harry Connick, Jr., meets Fishbone,"[4] and as "Somewhere between the Jam and James Bond."[5] A review of Slick Night Out in Billboard compared their sound to the Beautiful South and the Crash Test Dummies.[6]
