The band first recorded songs under the name of "Dutch Courage" with Rowan St.John on Drums, Greg French on Vocals / Bass and Sam Goody on Guitar. An Indie Rock band with moderate success in the local area playing most of the local venues. Following another name change to "Ambassadors Reception" and a movement towards Alternative music Greg French left leaving the band without a Bassist or Singer. Without Greg the band fell into a point of what seemed like disrepair with clashes between Rowan and Sam growing on the direction of the band, with Rowan wanting to make the crossover to electro but Sam feeling more comfortable with the usual formation. At this point the band, with an introduction from ex band-member Greg, met Jonathan Brennan a musician playing in local samba bands but also an able Synth player. The formation of a new band was almost complete with Brennan in the band Sam realised the crossover to electro was a possible reality. Thus the band "Captain Strobe and the Metroids" was finalised, with Rowan ( Metroid 1) on Bass and Synth, Brennan ( Metroid 2 ) singing and playing Synth and Sam ( Captain Strobe ) on Gu
