Their success was cut short when Donnelly accidentally drowned two weeks later.

They recorded their most acclaimed EP Knot a Fish in 1983 and moved to London later that year. Following two further EPs, The Glee Club and Singing in Braille, the band broke up in 1985. Dineen and Donnelly stayed in London and played a number of gigs with a drum machine early in 1986, but did not attract industry interest. The two reformed as Beethoven in 1988, and the following year released the Him Goolie Goolie Man, Dem EP on Setanta Records. The record was awarded "Single of the Week" by the NME.
