[1] The group formed in mid-1999 after the downfall of bands Caustic Soda and Mid Youth Crisis[2] from which guitarists Donnie Dureau and Adrian Lombardi were members.
In forming the initial lineup they were joined on bass by Dave Snow, formerly of The Bradshaw Figure, and Lachlan Hodgson, who drummed for Caustic Soda, and recorded their first EP, A Working Title in Green,[3] released on Sony.
Shaun Lohoar (who has also played in a number of Melbourne-based bands, most notably Pollyanna) was recruited as the new drummer.
[3] Subsequent releases have included a 12 track compilation with Midtown, The Movielife and Secondbest, their second album Text Bomb in 2003 and a 6-track split EP in 2005 with Ted Leo and the Pharmacists (who subsequently supported Blueline Medic on an Australian tour) on Casadeldisco Records.
On New Year's Eve 2011/2012, the band played an unannounced 4 song set (with fill-in drummer Chris Cowburn from Loser).
