Initially taking the name Sal's Birdland, the group released its debut album, So Very Happy, in 1994. In 1995, the group reworked So Very Happy with production assistance from Michael James and released Nude Photos Inside to the North American market. ("Sal" was Reny's stage name in the band.)

In 1997, the band changed its name to Artificial Joy Club. They had a #17 Billboard Modern Rock Tracks hit that year with "Sick and Beautiful", and appeared on the second stage bill at the Lollapalooza festival.

The band broke up in 1999.
