They started performing as a duo, building an audience through live shows that often featured extended improvisation. Their 1994 debut album 'Remember Two Things' included the song 'Crush,' which became one of their better-known tracks. Other songs like 'Bartender,' 'Grey Street,' and 'Typical Situation' have remained part of their setlists over time.
