HELP! With the name of a late 90s NYC band

I've been puzzling for weeks with my 'REAL' non-internerd musical expert friends over the name of a late 90s NYC band...

These are the clues and I'm certain someone here will know their name:

1. Late 90s NYC guitar band with retro-but-modern strong organ sound.
2. They sound a bit like The Boys Next Door - 'Birthday Party' album, the Inspiral Carpets and the Seeds. They were a kinda neo-garage-punk almost 80s nu-wave type band and were a few years ahead of their time.
3. They were on Geffen Records
4. The were a 5 piece of white pretty-boys, their photos were taken by Richard Kern.
5. They toured with Blur in the UK.

Thats all I can recall for now, I can't beleive I've had such an astonishing blank with this band and found it impossible to locate via the Net (even on allmusic.com!)

Thanks

YOU GOT IT in ONE!!!

Thanks heaps

Apparently minus the original charismatic lead singer from the bare internerd gleanings I picked up.
