History
editFormed in 1987, they released their debut album Perfect View on A&M Records in 1989.[1] Their first single "Lay Down Your Arms" hit No. 56 on the Billboard Hot 100 but the album and subsequent singles flopped.
In 1991, they were dropped by the record label and Brooks left the band.[2] She was replaced by Chrissy Shefts and the group continued to play live. They were about to be re-signed when Ciambotti was offered a job with the E Street Band, so the group disbanded in 1992 without recording a second album. Belinda Carlisle later covered "Lay Down Your Arms" on her 1993 album Real.[3]
