Debuting in 2007 with a self-titled independent EP, the band has released two single selections thus far, attracting airplay on Triple J as well as strong national and international community radio support. A full length album is slotted for 2008. Sound comparisons – if you must have them – include Augie March, The Frames and Art of Fighting. And the name?

No member of this band has ever been there, aside from the singer, who was quickly handed a tie an
