The band released its first 3 albums independently, selling almost 30,000 CDs before signing a brief and ill-fated deal with Capricorn Records in 1995.

Larger scale success came when they signed with indie label Blackbird who funded the recording of the Super Natural album, and whose uplift venture with Sire/London eventually provided the radio and distribution muscle that got the breaking single "Hooch" to top radio stations around the world.

Their peak of popularity came in 1998, when "Hooch" (from the Super Natural album) was featured in Adam Sandler's movie The Waterboy.

"Hooch" has been heard in episodes of My Name Is Earl, Raising Hope, Yes, Dear, and Clueless, and also was featured on the soundtrack of the first season of the show Scrubs.
