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.

—Marie Dressler (1873–1934)
“A cheerful intelligent face is the end of culture, and success enough. For it indicates the purpose of Nature and wisdom attained.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Success is somebody else’s failure. Success is the American Dream we can keep dreaming because most people in most places, including thirty million of ourselves, live wide awake in the terrible reality of poverty.”
—Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
