Formed in late 2004, in East London, they released a limited 7" single on the small Cigarette Music label in Feb 2005. Even though distribution was limited they received world-wide attention and got played on late-night Indie radio programmes all over the world, such as Rodney Bingenheimer on KROQ.

2006 brought along some line-up changes. They released their 2nd single in March 2007 on Cigarette Music. They are scheduled to release a 4-track EP called "Fun Ciy" in summer of 2008.
