Sodastream were an Australian duo consisting of Karl Smith (vocals, guitar) and Pete Cohen (double bass, backing vocals). The band began in Perth in 1997, recording and releasing their debut EP "Enjoy". In 1998 the band relocated to Melbourne where they recorded and released their second EP "Practical Footwear".

In 1999 Sodastream undertook their first tour of Europe including shows in Holland and England. The band then signed with UK label Tugboat Records. Later that year they returned to Europe to play the Crossing Border Festival.

The following year they recorded and released their first album, "Looks Like a Russian", toured Europe again and had their first shows in Australia outside Perth and Melbourne.

In 2001 Sodastream recorded and released their follow-up album, "The Hill For Company", undertook two national Australian tours and another tour of Europe.

This was then followed by another two tours of Europe in 2002 and 2003 including a live performance on Italian MTV, two national tours of Australia and the band's first tour of Japan. 2003 also saw the recording and release of the band's third album "A Minor Revival".

In 2004 Sodastream undertook their first tour of the United States, with further tours of Europe and Australia. The following year saw the recording and the release of the EP "Take Me With You When You Go" and in 2006 the release of the album "Reservations". This was followed by an extensive European tour.

The band announced their break-up on February 18, 2007. Their final show was at Melbourne's East Brunswick Club on March 2, 2007.
