Band history
Animal Logic began in 1987 as a collaboration between Copeland and Clarke, who had been friends for years going back to Copeland's pre-Police days as tour manager for Joan Armatrading. They were booked to perform together and, looking to form a mainstream-sounding pop band for the event, they listened to hundreds of audition tapes before hearing a two-song demo tape by an as-then unknown piano teacher named Deborah Holland. Impressed by her voice and songwriting talents, the original band lineup came together and quickly prepared for a tour through Brazil which also featured former Police guitarist Andy Summers. Appearing on this tour under the moniker Rush Hour, Summers departed after this initial effort. In 1989, the band released their first studio album under their new name, Animal Logic.
A summer tour of Europe and a fall tour of North America followed in that year and into early 1990. 1991 saw the release of a second album, Animal Logic II, but the lack of commercial success of the band led to its demise soon after. To some, the combination of Copeland and Clarke's virtuoso talents with Holland's songs and discomfort with the stage and pressure to be "mainstream" made for an uneasy combination. Copeland and Clarke would both appear on Holland's first solo album, Freudian Slip, released in 1994.
