Formed from around, and within, the Edinburgh indie-pop scene of the mid 1980's, Jesse Garon & The Desperadoes had a distinctive guitar-jangle sound with male and female vocals. The band took their name from Elvis Presley's stillborn twin brother, Jesse Garon Presley. This initial line-up recorded the first two singles, "Splashing Along" and "The Rain Fell Down", on Narodnik Records. With the departure of McMahon and Clarke, Bruce Hopkins and John Robb were drafted in for third single, the "Billy The Whizz EP", these being replaced on a more permanent basis by Michael Kerr (of Meat Whiplash).
