The band was found by bassist Lam Kee and lead guitarist Short Shing(aka SS) at 7th April, 2007. The two band members, along with the band Manager Jeff Chau, were childhood friends and all of them have no talent in music at all. SS practiced acoustic guitar briefly 5 years where the bassist Lam has started learning bass guitar just a week before the band was formed.
As a long time music appreciator and rock music fan, Lam decided to do something finally as he always believes passion on music should be something larger than life and "do it yourself". In the mean time, he has been kind of financially free, the very first time in his life, after graduated from HKUST and working as a full time programmer. He brought his first instrument, a low level model of Washburn electric bass guitar and started self-learning bass(His electric organ belongs to his family, which he has been learning since 13, before dropped it when he was 17). His main interest in music including 60s-90s Rock, which his favorite musician include Judy and Mary, Mr.Children, The Who, David Bowie, Oasis, etc.
The guitarist SS, who is known as a super fan of Richie Jen, has started learning acoustic guitar since his day at HK City U as a student. His music style was heavily influenced by Richie Jen, Wakin Chau and Jacky Cheung.
With the lack of talent, 9 heaness and diverse interest in music of the band members, they cannot come to any concrete direction of the band yet. Some believes their intention of forming a band is to get some groupies, which is yet to be proved. The band's name was adopted from the movie Prince Charm(1999), stared by Andy Lau. In the movie, the character Portuguese Tart(acted by Cheung Ka-Fai) once mentioned himself as "a sentimental animal".
Currently, the band mascot was the cat pet by SS and the band practiced weekly irregularly.
