According to Australian music journalist, Ed Nimmervoll, the Leigh brothers "started falling out with their singer around the time of releasing ['Human Need'].
The three Leigh brothers advertised for a vocalist: Christian Argenti was the successful applicant; the four-piece formed Invertigo in 2000 in Melbourne.
"[7] Blender's J. D. Considine opined that the group were "offering soft-hearted, woolen-headed love songs outfitted with blaring guitars and a muscular, insistent beat.
But [their] aesthetic is so unapologetically pop all jangly guitars, orchestral synths and tight, he-man vocal harmonies that the extra volume adds no edge at all.
James toured with the Idols of the 80s band in 2005, which included former members of Pseudo Echo, 1927, Boom Crash Opera, Kids in the Kitchen, and Uncanny X-Men.
