Dutch electonic experimentalists the Minny Pops formed in the late '70s. Initially signed to the Plurex label, they debuted in 1979 with the "Kojak" single, which featured impressions of %Telly Savalas' TV character of the same name. Their full-length debut followed later that year in the form of Drastic Measures, Drastic Movements. The record gained interest from England's Factory label, who wooed the band away from Plurex.
After a final release for their first label, a live EP, the band made their first live appearance in England at ~the Beach Club, a Factory-aligned haunt in Manchester. At this point, the band's lineup consisted of Wim Dekker (synthesizers), Wally Van Middendorp (vocals and tapes), Lion Van Zoren (bass), and Gerard Walhof (guitar).
