Part of the Hamilton, Ontario scene, Adeney released his first self-titled album, a solo album in the psych folk genre, in 2000. He followed up with "and Gun" in 2002, before putting together an eponymous band for his third release, 2004's "The Price", which was supported by national tours across Canada and Australia. His best known single to date is "Message From the Queen".

His fourth album, "Orchard and Ire", was released in 2007 (an EP titled "Orchard" was released in summer 2006). cite web
