Further members included Billy McGee and Martin McCarrick, who also later joined Almond when he formed Marc Almond and the Willing Sinners. The group's lineup was fluid, with members changing with each recording or performance the only consistent members were Almond, Annie Hogan and Steve James Sherlock. Marc and the Mambas belonged to that scene, and continued the dark themes explored within Soft Cell, but musically used different instruments and more complex rhythms. Further members were Jim Foetus and Nick Cave. Almond also took part as one of four members of The Immaculate Consumptive, a group initiated by Lydia Lunch they never released any album but did a few shows in New York and Washington D.C. In 1983, Almond and Soft Cell were very close to the avant-garde scene around Foetus, Psychic TV and Einstürzende Neubauten. Marc and the Mambas marked the start of Marc Almond's career outside of Soft Cell.
