The band was established by Gianni Mantice (guitar), Patrizia Di Fiore (vocals), Gemma Aiello (bass) and Gennaro T (drums) in 1987. In 1990 Di Fiore left the band and was replaced by Raiz (also spelled Rais and Raiss) and Paolo Polcari (keyboards). D.Rad (Stefano Facchielli) later joined the group as dubber. In 2003 Raiz left the band to pursue a solo career, although he briefly reunited with the band for their 2013 effort Controra.[1] In 2004 D.RaD died after falling off his scooter while riding in the rain.[2]
