In 1985, the group formed On a Friday, the name referring to their usual rehearsal day in the school’s music room. The band disliked the school’s strict atmosphere—the headmaster once charged them for using a rehearsal room on a Sunday—and found solace in the music department. They credited their music teacher for introducing them to jazz , film scores , postwar avant-garde music , and 20th-century classical music .
