They began to take the operation seriously, assuming roles and casting around for a drummer to complete the outfit. Moloney, while studying for his degree in music, made the acquaintance of just such a drummer, classmate Lawlor, whose interests were in harmony with those of the group. Director was complete. A year later, after an arresting sequence of live shows amid growing popularity, Director recorded their debut record, We Thrive On Big Cities, for Atlantic Records.
