The drummers changed several times in the history of the band. The first release, the Flexi-Disc Fixed Link , came out in 1986. It was included with the fanzine "Debris" and was played by John Peel on his BBC show . In the fall of 1988, the single Hurry On Down came with three tracks on the market and was played again by John Peel, who then invited the band to a radio session. In 1989 Tom Hingley left the band and joined the Inspiral Carpets . Too Much Texas released the single Smart and broke up in 1992. In 2006 they got back together with the old line-up and with Pete Marshall on drums they went on tour in England in spring 2006 and released the CD Juvenilia .
