The Smiths provided Joyce with his first taste of success, although he had previously drummed for Manchester band The Hoax, and Irish punks Victim. Joyce was a member of the Smiths throughout the band's existence (1982 - 1987). Immediately after the breakup of the band, Joyce and Smiths Bassist Andy Rourke played with Sinéad O'Connor , and also provided the rhythm section for two singles by former Smiths singer Morrissey . Work with Buzzcocks , Public Image Limited , Julian Cope , P.P. Arnold and Pete Wylie followed throughout the 1990s. Joyce and Rourke reunited to work with fellow Manchester musician Aziz Ibrahim (formerly of the Stone Roses ), ex- Oasis guitarist Bonehead (as "Moondog One"), and Vinny Peculiar (alongside Craig Gannon also briefly in the Smiths). In 1996, Joyce sued former Smiths' colleagues Johnny Marr and Morrissey for an equal share of performance and recording royalties (see The Smiths for more detail). He won the case. EXTERNAL LINKS
