The band’s name derives from the cartoon character Yosemite Sam who often used the expression “I’m-a-gonna blow ya to smithereens!” In 1980 they released the single “Girls About Town” followed by a mini-LP Beauty and Sadness in 1983. In the same period they toured as Otis Blackwell ‘s backing band on a Scandinavian tour in 1984.
