Gennet began writing songs in 2000, hiring Ruggiero and bassist Adam Small – both musicians from a jazz/funk background – to form Slunt in 2002.[1] As Gennet moved focus to vocal duty, the band enlisted Pat Harrington after Gennet saw him with his previous band, Gaggle of Cocks; Jenny Gunns replaced bassist Small shortly after.[1] The band later changed their bassist again, when Ilse Baca was hired after a week of "Slunt boot camp" which ended in "her final audition" – a concert "in front of a bunch of screaming Brits". She was temporarily replaced for the majority of 2006 by bassist/backing vocalist Jhen Kobran (formerly of Halfcocked) for the band's next album, One Night Stand, and all live performances/touring for that year. Baca returned for touring in 2007.[2]
