Formation and early years (2000) Plume (Delia Gaitskell) and Denim (Suzanne Powell) met and formed the band when they were both students at the
University of Liverpool. They recorded and released their first EP entitled
Mix Up Words and Sounds through Splinter, produced by
Chris Corner.
Robots in Disguise and Get RID! (2001–2005) The band's
eponymous début studio album was released through Recall in 2001, produced by Chris Corner.
Robots in Disguise featured the single "Boys". The cover for "Boys" featured a mimic of Roxy Music's
Country Life. Robots in Disguise's second studio album,
Get RID! was released in 2005 through Recall and Ben Prime. It featured the singles "Turn It Up" and "The DJ's Got a Gun".
''We're in the Music Biz'' (2006–2008) The band's third studio album, ''
We're in the Music Biz, was released through President in 2008, and was again produced by Chris Corner. It featured the single "The Sex Has Made Me Stupid", as well as new single "The Tears". We're in the Music Biz'' has a deceivingly innocent looking album cover, with the girls appearing to wear shirts and ties when in fact they are topless and the "clothes" are simply body paint.
Wake Up! and Happiness v Sadness (2009–present) The band recorded their fourth studio album in London in late 2009, but ran out of money before its completion. The band relied on fan pledges to financially support the project, and released the single "Wake Up" on 3 May 2010, which included a remix by
Electrosexual & Scream Club. "Wake Up!" was inspired by
Barry M cosmetics, who financed a music video-cum-ad featuring "Robot Blue" lipstick and costuming. With 138% of their pledge goal met by fans, the studio album was released on 11 July 2011.
Reunion In 2019, they announced their reunion and an upcoming album. ==
