[edit] Biography

In November of 2004, a month after forming, MIBL recorded their first EP entitled "Coaster" which was released on Periphony Records.

Originally, MIBL consisted of just Aaron Carey, Steve O'Gallagher, and Fil Jeffes, but when recording Coaster, some synth violin was added to "The Pirate Song" and due to the popularity of the song live, the band decided to recruit a violin player to recreate the sound. From there the violin started to become an integral part of the band's song writing and live sound so Amy Haynes joined the band full-time in June of 2006.

In the Summer of 2006 MIBL set out on their first UK tour with Doncaster-based band Masenko, before recording their debut album. The album was engineered, mixed, and mastered by Aaron Carey and produced by MIBL. Before the album was released, MIBL went out on tour again in March-May of 2007 most notably playing with bands such as Zebrahead, Fandangle, Random Hand, Grown At Home, and also playing on the Good To Go Tour with Wheatus, MC Lars, and Punchline.

The album, entitled "Music By Numbers", was released digitally worldwide on both Periphony and Party House Records on the 6 August 2007. It received a small amount of critical acclaim from online music websites and some national radio stations, most notably being played on BBC Radio 6. The band toured the album from its release until the end of November across the UK this time performing with Howards Alias, and The King Blues among many others.

The band is now taking some time off from touring whilst writing their second album.

Around mid March the band announced that their drummer Steve was leaving the band and was to be replaced by Yom.
