Their band name is derived from an alternative perspective from the name of Dracula, which was originally part of a joke coined by comedian Mitch Hedberg.
Soon after they began to pioneer songs from their experiments and released an EP, titled Chillogy, independently the following year.
After yet again re-aligning their line-up, Dr. Acula released their third studio album, The Social Event of the Century in 2010, also through Uprising Records.
It was met with better reception than Below Me, although didn't reach as wide of an audience as Uprising failed to promote the record as aggressively as Below Me.
On June 20 of that year, keyboardist, Joey Simpson quit the band while on The Horror Nights Tour.
On August 27, 2015, it was announced a one-off 10-year reunion show, commemorating the formation of the original band, would be taking place on October 3, 2015, in Long Island, NY.
On September 13, 2019, the original line up announced they are back together and would play another reunion show in support of The World We Knew at Amityville Music Hall in Long Island, NY.
In September of 2021 during a show at Amityville Music Hall, the band announced that they have announced that they have parted ways with vocalist Bert Vegas with guitarist Lou Figurito handling all sampling duties and Rob Accardi handling all vocal duties.
