The band Assignment was formed in Pittsburgh, in 1986 by Bill "Chill" Gandy. It was born out of the Pretty Boy click which from 1982-1986 performed in high school talent shows as a dance crew. After 1986 the all male crew formed a singing group known as The Project. The song "Foolish Girl" was written and 4-tracked with ex-Rude bassist Marc "Marcus" McCoy. The Project fell apart and Bill Gandy formed the production unit known as Assignment. The Assignment consisted members from 3 different local bands, and included male and female counterparts. The objectives of the unit were to record and produce records from their own label. They were all skilled in the art of studio production and record manufacturing. The core unit underwent many facelifts over it's brief 4-year life span but they produced 6 recordings, received airplay in at least 6 states, was mentioned in BillBoard magazine twice and appeared in Right On magazine. Oh, they sold some records and produced some videos too.
