History
Songwriter Scott Blackley recorded the band's self-titled album between May and October 2004. A full band was subsequently formed for live performances; this consisted of Blackley, ex-Muzzy Pep members Luke Bennett (drums) Nick Munnings (bass), Stephen Bissett (guitar) and backing singer/harmonica player/percussionist Rocky Higgins. Keyboard player/slide guitarist Chris Alford (Russell Morris Band, Marcia Hines Band) joined in late 2004 just as bass player Munnings departed to join burgeoning popsters Faker. Bass player Leif Tisdell (ex-Jacuzzi Suit) joined in early 2005 as Rocky Higgins left. The band toured to Queensland, Melbourne, Sydney and Western NSW throughout 2005 alongside bands such as Richmond Fontaine, Faker and Bluebottle Kiss. Throughout 2006, the band was working on songs for their second album, which was recorded early in 2007 and released in March, 2008.

“The history of our era is the nauseating and repulsive history of the crucifixion of the procreative body for the glorification of the spirit.”
