Formed on Bastille Day, 2001 on the set of Neighbours by three of the show's screenwriters Christopher Hollow, Ben Michael and Piet Collins. Singer-guitarist Andrew Tanner joined shortly after. In 2003, Murray Ono was drafted in on keyboards. He left in 2005 and was replaced by Tor Larsen on guitar and vocals. Following the sessions for Ceduna in 2008, Piet Collins left and was replaced by Cliff Booth. In 2009, Wes Holland took over as drummer. Holland's inclusion meant there is a band member born in each decade from the 50s to the 90s. The band splintered in early 2012, with only sparse activity in the following few years. Various members left and then briefly returned for occasional support gigs, such as with Primal Scream in 2013 and Luna.
*Eastern Terrace: A Camera Obscura release and the band's full length debut. It contained songs like "My Sensation", "Moving Too Fast" and a cover of Julian Cope's "Out of My Mind on Dope and Speed". Francois Couture, writing for Allmusic, announced: "The presence of a cover version of Julian Cope's "Out of My Mind on Dope and Speed" is not an innocent move. This group has clear Krautrock influences and an appetite for catchy melodies – two defining characteristics of Cope's songs." *Ghost Transmissions : A Raoul Records release, produced by Murray Jamieson. It includes a cover of the Skip Spence song, "All My Life, "The Day Summer Fell" and the 12-minute epic "Black Sun Ensemble", which UK critic Stewart Lee noted in The Sunday Times "is one of those unforgettable, hypnotic, slow-burning, snake-charming epics that comes along once in a generation. *Atlantis Regrets Nothing: The debut release on the Sensory Projects label, produced by Murray Jamieson. It features a track co-written with Dave Graney, another featuring Luna's Dean Wareham and saw the band expand their sound to include brass and strings. The ABC's Jarrod Watt called it "psychedelic rock that doesn't disappear up its own tambourine." *Ceduna : The band's second release on the Sensory Projects label, produced by James Dean was written and partially recorded at Cactus, a surf beach on the Great Australian Bight. It featured songs such as "Wild Season", "Future Proofed and "Red, Orange, Purple and Blue". David Nichols, writing for Mess + Noise, wrote: "I listened to it in a car wash and would recommend that." *A Thousand Wild Flowers: An international release on Dean Wareham and Britta Phillips' label, Double Feature Records, produced by Malcolm McDowell, James Dean, and Murray Jamieson. It combines tracks from three of their Australia-only albums, rare live cuts plus a cover of The 13th Floor Elevators song "I Don't Ever Want to Come Down". Mojo magazine noted the album's "snaking guitar licks and latter day Velvets rhythmic churn." It was also favourably reviewed by The Times. *Dark Magic : Released on the Dot Dash Recordings/Remote Control Records label in August 2011, 'Dark Magic' was produced by Malcolm McDowell and featured mixes and cameos by Tim Holmes, Will Carruthers and Britta Phillips.
