Success
The band released 1995's The Photograph Kills EP as well as three full length records: 1998's Gaslight, 2001's Bastard Life or Clarity and 2003's Other Ways of Speaking, all of which are available at iTunes worldwide. Bastard Life or Clarity and Other Ways of Speaking were both mixed by Mike Fraser. In 2000 TOFOG performed shows in London, Los Angeles and the now famous run of shows at Stubbs in Austin, TX which became a live DVD that was released in 2001 called Texas. In 2001 the band came to the US for major press, radio and TV appearances for the Bastard Life or Clarity release and returned to Stubbs in Austin, TX to kick off a sold out US tour with dates in Austin, Boulder, Chicago, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, New York City and the last show at the famous Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ. In 2003 the band and Crowe were infamously parodied by fellow Australian band Frenzal Rhomb on their track "Russel Crowe's Band". The subsequent film clip of the single featured animated portrayals of both bands and some well-documented Russell Crowe incidents. The Australian podcast TOFOP (Thirty Odd Foot of Pod) featuring Wil Anderson and Charlie Clausen parodies the band's nomenclature.

Famous quotes containing the word success:
“By his very success in inventing labor-saving devices, modern man has manufactured an abyss of boredom that only the privileged classes in earlier civilizations have ever fathomed.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
“The two-party system has given this country the war of Lyndon Johnson, the Watergate of Nixon, and the incompetence of Carter. Saying we should keep the two-party system simply because it is working is like saying the Titanic voyage was a success because a few people survived on life-rafts.”
—Eugene J. McCarthy (b. 1916)
“We talked about and that has always been a puzzle to me
why American men think that success is everything
when they know that eighty percent of them are not
going to succeed more than to just keep going and why
if they are not why do they not keep on being
interested in the things that interested them when
they were college men and why American men different
from English men do not get more interesting as they
get older.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
