The band was formed in 1997 by Pall Jenkins (Mr. Tube and the Flying Objects, Pallllap, Ugly Casanova and Three Mile Pilot) and Tobias Nathaniel (Three Mile Pilot). The group is often augmented by the contributions of Matt Resovich, Mario Rubalcaba, Jason Crane, Joe Plummer, Dmitri Dziensuwski, Jimmy LaValle and Matthew Parker.[1]

In June 2013, San Diego City Beat reveal the band was on hiatus. Jenkins said "After years of touring and traveling and focusing on music, we decided just to kind of put an end to it for a while." [4]

In 2016, they reformed for two shows.[6]
