The band formed in 2009, and their line up consists of vocalist, guitarist Matt Joe Gow, guitarist Andrew Pollock, bassist Cameron Grindrod and drummer Joel Witenberg. Though Joe Gow was born in New Zealand, the band currently reside in Melbourne, Australia.
They initially formed to serve as a backing band on Matt Joe Gow's solo album The Messenger, released through Liberation Music in July 2009. Produced by Nash Chambers, the album features instrumental contributions from Jim Moginie and Bill Chambers. The first single off the album, ‘Come What May,’ was released went on to receive international airplay. The Messenger is however considered by the band as predominately a solo record, with their forthcoming album 'Cities On The Sea' due out February 2012 produced by Scott Horscroft and Eric J Dubowsky regarded as the first official 'full band' album. The album marks a change in direction from the solo material.
