The members of the band were Lucas Renney (singer/guitarist), Neil Bassett (drums), Dave Younger (synth/keyboards) and Allan Burnup (bass). The band split up in late 2006. The band had shown great significance in Sunderland local music industry as they had played at Glastonbury, T in the Park, Leeds and Reading, dubbing them as one of Sunderland best known bands. Though, as of April 2016, they have reunited as a band.
The band released five singles and an album. Its album, Songs of Praise, received critical accolades, having been released through XL Recordings and published by Hero Music Publishing in 2004. The Golden Virgins track "Renaissance Kid" was voted #42 in the 2003 Festive Fifty.
