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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There is nothing truer than myth: history, in its attempt to “realize” myth, distorts it, stops halfway; when history claims to have “succeeded” this is nothing but humbug and mystification. Everything we dream is “realizable.” Reality does not have to be: it is simply what it is.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
“The one duty we owe to history is to rewrite it.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“Philosophy of science without history of science is empty; history of science without philosophy of science is blind.”
—Imre Lakatos (1922–1974)
