Jeannine Deckers
Belgian singer/songwriter/guitarist Soeur Sourire, known in the English-speaking world as the Singing Nun, She joined the Dominican order in 1954 under whose service she would eventually trade her name, Jeannine Deckers, for Sister Luc-Gabriell. While in the convent she wrote a couple of songs and she booked some time at the Phillips recording studio with the intent of giving away her songs as part of her missionary work. Phillips offered her a contract and dubbed her Soeur Sourire (' Sister Smile' ). Her first single, an homage to St. Dominic titled "Dominique", dominated the charts in 1963. After it was released in the States "Dominique" rose the U.S. charts and hit number one, marking Soeur Sourire (known in the U.S. as the Singing Nun) as the only Belgian to hit number one in the U.S. It topped the chart for ten weeks. Her sudden fame was more than she could handle and in 1965 she left the convent. After that she shocked her followers with her political song in favor of birth control, "Glory Be to God for the Golden Pill". She further alienated supporters by embracing radical stances and by her openly gay lifestyle.
later she opened a school for autistic children which she ran together with her friend Annie Pesscher through the '70s, but in the early ' 80s, the Belgium government informed Deckers that she owed over $60,000 in taxes on the profits of "Dominique". Since Deckers had donated all of the earnings from "Dominique" to her convent, she had no money to pay the fee. She became addicted to alcohol and pills, and played shows to try and pay off her debt, but when the government threatened to close the school, Deckers and Prescher wrote letters to their family and friends, then committed suicide together on March 29, 1985 via a mixture of barbiturates and alcohol.

Marvin Pontiac
Was hit and killed by a bus in June 1977 ending the life of one of the most enigmatic geniuses of modern music. He had a minor hit for Acorn Records with the then controversial song "I'm a Doggy." Oddly enough, he simultaneously had an enormous bootleg success in Nigeria with the beautiful song "Pancakes." In 1970 Marvin believed that he was abducted by aliens. He stopped playing music and dedicated all of his time and energy to contacting these creatures who had previously probed his body so brutally. Marvin held the tribal belief that having a photograph taken of yourself could steal your soul, thus these candid shots are the only ones known to exist.
Marvin Pontiac is the pseudonym Lounge Lizards John Lurie had used to release an album in 2000. Lurie wasn’t content to just change his name , he created a myth. As a teen Lurie played the harmonica, even bluffing his way onstage to back the likes of Canned Heat and John Lee Hooker. In 1978 he was founding member of the Lounge Lizards a new-york-car-crash jazz combo they continued making music for 20 years. As an actor he made appearances in films as Down by Law, Desperately Seeking Susan, The Last Temptation of Christ, and Wild at Heart. Lurie also hosted his own television series, the cult-classic Fishing with John.

Holger Czukay
Successfully bridged the gap between pop and the avant-garde, pioneering the use of samples and exploring the significance of world music on Western culture. His ideas were frequently too radical for mainstream tastes; after being disqualified from one jazz festival for his "unclassifiable music," he was later expelled from Berlin's Music Academy for similar artistic insolence. Co-founded the influential rock group Can in 1968. After Can disbanded in 1976 Czukay mad his debut solo album ‘Movies’ featuring a refinement of his techniques. In the early eighties he teamed up with former PIL bassist Jah Wobble they made the club hit “How much are they.” In 1987 he recorded the controversial “Blessed Easter” which contained a sample of Pope John Paul II.

The name stuck.
In 1990 they recorded “Supernaut” a Black Sabbath cover. Supernaut" could not be released with Trent Reznor's vocals, due to legal problems with Reznor's label TVT Records.
