Costumes are from the Austin Power's and Charlie's Angels movies, along with more costume changes during the show. Sticking with the spy film theme, they also have a special guest appearance from agent 007 Bosely Williams (Robbie's big brother) who performs a "Millennium" sequence of Robbie Williams songs and who is then joined by guest Kylie Men-Oggle for "Kids".
Most of the musicians have been playing in working bands for many years.
Dave ("Charlie") has been playing in bands since the 60's, and appeared on Granada TV.
Lynn ("Harmony") has been playing the bass since she was 9 years old and appeared on National TV in "New Faces".
Dave (Austin) also appeared on "New Faces" and was an original member of the boyband 'Our Kid' who had a number 2 hit with "You Just Might See Me Cry" and both Lynn and Dave have been in bands with Ian McNabb (Icicle Works) and Chris Sharrock (now Robbie Williams' drummer).
Samantha ("Rhapsody") can't be parted from her drum kits for more than a few days and has been playing them for many years.
Neil ("Dr Evil") is classically trained and has been playing keyboards for 15 years and been in working bands for 10 years.
Kelly ("Melody") at 18 is the youngest member of the band, but has already worked as a session singer at Pete Waterman studios.
Sound is delivered via a 4000 watt Ad Lib PA system with a 20 channel mixing desk. They use Fender guitars and Korg and Roland Keyboards and include a lighting rig.
