Short-lived synth pop project from Arendal, Norway. Zetlitz (vocals, triangle), Cool Kat (guitar, synth, organ, bass, rhythms, tapes) and Thomas Robsahm (synth, percussion, organ, bells, xylophone, voice, rhythms). Zetlitz and Kat had worked together in Headcleaners, and also worked with Famlende Forsøk on some tracks. Robsahm had been a member of Brød & Sirkus previously. The band came together for a few months only; As Robsahm would be moving to Oslo (starting his film carreer), they decided to see how much they could accomplish as a band within limited time.

Together, they released the "Musikk For De Intime Salonger" cassette, which they described as"romantic music for cynical people, a nice soundtrack to your afternoon tea". Recorded in March, 1983, it came out on both Robsahm's own Neronastri label and SHiT Tapes. They also played four gigs between February and June, including the 1983 Sprø Musikk Festival. The track "Kollasj" got released on the festival compilation cassette.

Moving to Oslo to start work on the film "Åpen Framtid", Robsahm went on to form White Lord Jesus, whereas Zetlitz and Kat kept on working with Famlende Forsøk, the reformed Headcleaners, and Coalmine 5. Cool Kat now plays in Smell of Incense .
