Alain's previous bands include The Memphis Sinners and Born Bad. Alain currently writes
the music for most of Morrissey's songs (Boz writes a good share, about a quarter of the
songs).
Speaking of the band in the May 19, 1991 issue of NME, Alain said, 'We were never Smiths
fans and I think this is one of the reasons that we've got on so well with Moz. The fact
that he was in The Smiths doesn't really mean a lot to us. I think he's glad about that,
because it means we take him for what he is, which is a good bloke, rather than because of
his past. He was keen to have a band, a real band, rather than a bunch of session men
behind him. And as a band, we get on very well.'
