History

Singer Shimon and bassist Emma first met in the music room of her high school in Mosman, a suburb of Sydney, to know, as they both had flagged him at the same time for rehearsals. They became friends quickly and played together cover versions of, inter alia, Green Day, Silverchair and Rage Against the Machine, first with Shimon on drums and Emma as a guitarist. The instrumental forces changed with Chris Mileski, a drummer. Shimon moved to this guitar and vocals and Emma to electric bass. She quickly began to play their own songs and went out of their current band name.

With their debut album Welcome to the real world, they won the Triple J Unearthed competition tape, resulting in a management contract was with Paul Stepanek Management. Shortly after, the band moved to Los Angeles without drummer Chris, who could not leave Australia at this time. Due to an ad on Craigslist, they found the current drummer and Americans Mark Goodwin.

The follow-up album Dressed up as Life was released for the first time on a major label. With the Free Hugs Campaign, it was the single from the album All the Same to a great success in the USA.

In December 2008, the band went back into the studio and wrote her now third studio album Tri - Polar, which was released on July 14, 2009. In the UK, the album was not typical of Australian and American newcomer until almost two years later, on the fourth of April 2011, out.

It was followed by several concerts, including the Hurricane Festival 2011.

On July 16, 2013 their fourth studio album was released. It bears the name Connect and debuted at number 17 on the U.S. charts.
