## History

O ([Otis Barthoulameu](/source/Otis_Barthoulameu) - vocals, guitar) and Jonny Donhowe (bass guitar) formed the band after their previous band, [Olivelawn](/source/Olivelawn), split up, recruiting drummer Miles Gillett.[1] After several seven-inch singles (including a [cover version](/source/Cover_version) of [PJ Harvey](/source/PJ_Harvey)'s "[Sheela Na Gig](/source/Sheela-Na-Gig_(song))"), the band's debut album was released in 1993. Generally known as *Mangravy*, each physical format had a different title.[1][2][3] A second album followed in 1994 (*Home Improvements*, also released on vinyl as *Whitey on the Moon* and on cassette as *Stocking the Lake With Brown Trout*),[3] and in 1996 Donhowe left, to be replaced by Josh Higgins.[1] This line-up recorded their major label ([MCA](/source/MCA_Records)) debut *[Waikiki](/source/Waikiki_(album))* (1997) and *Road Rage* (1998), with a final album-length [EP](/source/Extended_play), *I Know I'm Nobody* released in 2000.
