[edit] Career

The band was founded in 1990 in Auckland, New Zealand. They were originally called Monsterland but had to change the name upon moving to NYC the following year because there was already a local band of that name.^[1] They released an EP Falling Over, Spilling Over in 1992 on NYC label Homestead. Hamish's former label, New Zealand's Flying Nun released the band's debut album A Trip Thru Monsterland in 1993. ^[2]. After some personnel changes the band signed to Merge and a second album Sealight was released in 1996 which is regarded as their best work. ^[2].

The band opened for The Clean at NYC's Cake Shop on December 1, 2007, where they were joined by Yo La Tengo's Georgia Hubley on guitar.^[3]
