Based in Lambeth in South London, England, Carter and Morrison originally played in an indie band called Jamie Wednesday , which released two singles: “Vote For Love” and “We Three Kings of Orient Aren’t”. Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine were formed on 6 August 1987 when Carter and Morrison were the only band members to turn up for a charity gig at the London Astoria , and went on stage to perform as a duo with backing tapes. The debut single, “A Sheltered Life”, was released later in 1988 on the Big Cat label , but it was not until the second single, ” Sheriff Fatman “, was released in 1989 that the band began to receive recognition. That song was followed by the album 101 Damnations – a critical account of life south of the River Thames , full of black humour, cynicism, wordplay and puns. The album reached number 29 on the UK Albums Chart .
