After the breakup of the legendary Swell Maps in 1980 (a Birmingham Post-Punk band), Nikki Sudden pursued a solo career influenced by T-Rex, Johhny Thunders, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, etc. He released two records: Waiting On Egypt in 1982 and The Bible Belt in 1983. In 1983, with Dave Kusworth (a member of Dogs D'Amour, TV-Eye and The Bounty Hunters), he founded The Jacobites, who would release the album Jacobites in 1984, the EP Shame For The Angels (1984) and the record Robespierre's Velvet Basement in 1985. This last record reached number 1 on the German independent chart and Nikki Sudden settled in Germany. The band split up for the first time in 1986.
