Debut album Rockulator spawned Top 20 hit Sonic Boom Boy, although follow-up single Ba-Na-Na-Bam-Boo just scraped into the Top 40.
Visually, the band were styled in a way reminiscent of comic book art, and musically, they were a blend of classic 1950s rock and roll, glam, and punk, updated with beatboxes and sequencers.
They managed to record another two albums with Burton leaving the band before their third album.
He was replaced by Gary ‘Gaz’ Young, and the trio added TJ (Tracy O’Connor) to the lineup on bass.
The group called it a day in 1992, with Bob and Elizabeth later relocating to the US and forming a band called Moondogg.
