The band's initial line-up was Jo Bevan (also of Desperate Journalist) on vocals, Charley Stone (from all the bands) on lead guitar, Lolo Wood on keyboard, Jo Gate-Eastley on bass, and Mel Woods (Knifeworld/Sidi Bou Said) on drums. Val Gwyther now sings with the band. They are known for playing only material from the early career of Duran Duran, and "don't do Rio."[1][2][3]

Stone, Wood, Gate-Eastley and Woods perform original material, with Wood providing lead vocals, as MX Tyrants: their first single and video is "Mutual Lucid".[4][5]
