Decoder Ring

This line-up recorded the EP Spooky Action at a Distance (2002) and the album Decoder Ring (2002).

Kenny Davis Jr & Ben Ely departed after the recording of Somersault in 2004, the band subsequently reconfiguring with new members Lenka (vocals, keyboards), Xavier Fijac (keyboards, samples) & Matthew Steffen (bass, [la Huva]).

The band wrote the soundtrack for the 2005 short feature Jewboy by writer/director Tony Krawitz, which was presented in 2006 at the Sundance Film Festival.

A US tour saw them play shows in Los Angeles and New York City, as well as at the SXSW music festival in Austin, Texas.

Upon their return home they played at The Great Escape Festival and Splendour in the Grass, as well as completing a national tour of Australia.
