After David Keenan, (guitar, vocals) departed from 18 Wheeler in 1994, he formed the Telstar Ponies in Glasgow, Scotland, with singer Rachel Devine, Gavin Laird (guitar, vocals), and former Teenage Fanclub drummer Brendan O'Hare. Originally viewed by some critics as a weak knock-off of Teenage Fanclub, however from the singles Maps and Starcharts in 1994, Her Name & Not Even Starcrossed In 1995, to their their first album, In The Space Of A Few Minutes their sound developed into something much darker, denser and more experemental.
