The story about Moose is true, i was referring to the fact that by their first album the shoegazers status started going amiss. I've never liked Chapterhouse and i've found them heavily derivative of the whole scene that was about at the time. Another band i remember being around was Scorpio Rising from Liverpool, not a great one. The singer went on to form Plastic Fantastic and kick-started the whole short-lived Romo movement.
