Well, technically they are British - American. You see one of them went to one of my high schools in Lakenheath, England. It was simply named Lakenheath Senior High School, the same one that American Mike Nocito & Katrina (of Katrina & The Waves) graduated from. Incidentally both of these members are the only American members and had only one big US hit in their careers.
