History

The band members began playing together in 1996, but did not officially form the band until 2001. Their first recording came out in 2003, when Doppelganger Records released their self-titled debut LP. The band's style was heavily influenced by 70's classic rock, similar to bands such as Wolfmother. After the band was invited by Slint to open for them at England's All Tomorrow's Parties festival, the band drew attention from Drag City Records.[1] Their 2006 release on Drag City, The Indian Tower, resulted in significant media attention in the United States.[2][3][4][5][6]

The band went on hiatus in October 2008, as Randy Huth went on to play bass for Pissed Jeans. The group got back together in the spring of 2010 and played their first show back in their hometown of Nazareth, on December 18, 2010.
