themselves bundled in with the ‘Britpop’ scene, and made their national TV debut by performing ‘Sleep’ on Channel 4’s cult TV
show ‘The Word’ in February 1995.
• The band gigged throughout 1995, building up a fanbase, and supported Morrissey on his ‘Boxers’ tour. ‘This World And Body’
was released in February 1996 and entered the top ten of the album chart.
