Formed in 2011 by Sarah Kelly (ex-the Red Sun Band) on lead vocals, with ex-Wolfmother (2004–08) musicians Chris Ross (on bass and keyboard) and Myles Heskett (on drums), both were also in the Slew (2009–10).
[1] Kelly continued to write music, and approached Julia Wilson of Sydney indie label, Rice is Nice, about recording and releasing a new album.
[2] Since departing Wolfmother in 2008, Heskett and Ross had recorded as members of North American electronic artists, the Slew, with Kid Koala, but they were between projects by late 2010.
[3][4][5] The Sydney Morning Herald's Douglas Fry determined, "[they] craft what could have been a contrived – but is actually a compelling – debut album... [it features] time travel through '70s Aussie pub rock into Owlsley's California.
"[8] Gillian Harrison of Happy Mag described the group, "one of the many Australian psychedelic, 70's inspired, indie rock bands swanning their goods and passion for the era... [which] successfully find a fusion between the female high range vocals and the solid thumping guitar slamming and measured percussion.
