1998 Automatic Kittens	Without further ado, Andy McCluskey of OMD set out to recreate his concept of a new girl band, steering course away from the disappointment that was Honeyhead. His second attempt gave rise to a local band going by the name of 'Automatic Kittens'. The name as unusual as it sounded was adopted from the band's clothing designer, Mary Lamb. Lamb called her own range of clothing, 'Automatic Kitten'. There were a number of hiccups in getting the 'Automatic Kittens' on track but they were more promising than Honeyhead. McCluskey who was based in Liverpool, UK, felt that an advantage was being gained by taking on local members: ""We recruited girls from here in Liverpool. They're local, so they don't have to travel and live in a city where they don't feel comfortable. They have a definitive and real geographical location. That gave them a certain sensibility that other girl bands don't have."
