Short-lived band created by George Harrison and Jeff Lynne. Initially an informal grouping with Roy Orbison and Tom Petty to complete the B-side of Harrison's When We Was Fab single at Bob Dylan's Santa Monica studio. They enjoyed working together sufficiently to create an LP, released in October 1988, under various pseudonyms as half-brothers, sons of Charles Truscott Wilbury, Senior.

A second album appeared in October 1990.
