Hyena Motorcade was formed in Orange County, CA during the summer of 2009 by Rick Kaley and Mark Allen with bassist Art Agunod joining Rick and Mark shortly afterwards when the Mixed Martial Arts media group MMA Worldwide/TapouT Magazine where Mark worked was about to wrap filming on their weekly series set to be aired on HDNet. The show's Executive Director and Cannes Film Festival Award winner James Hergott approached Mark in regards to placing the band in the show's soundtrack after hearing a rough guitar demo of what was later to be the song "Shadows". James then asked the band if he could get the song recorded within two weeks in order to make his production deadlines and include it into the TV show's soundtrack, so Mark, Ric, Art and guest drummer James English went straight into Sound Asylum Studios in Santa Ana, CA to record the track. The song was included into six of the seasons ten episodes during the 2009 season and the positive attention the song and band received both from the TV show as well as receiving airplay on terrestrial and internet stations was enough to warrant the band continuing to write more material and to solidify the band lineup for potential live shows. Within a few months, the band brought bassist Art Agunod's brother aboard on drums and the group once again entered the studio, this time opting for Satellite Park Studios in Malibu, CA to record their debut three song demo under the guidance of the legendary Paul Roessler whos credits include T
