Marriner had been playing a weekly solo show at Irene's Pub in Ottawa, frequently inviting guests to join him.

Marriner and D struck up the idea to try a three piece (two guitars, drums and no bass) and since Sobb had been playing with Tony D. for approximately eight years, and before that time with Marriner in another project, he was called to start this new project on the last Sunday of March 2008.

Such a formation is found in a number of notable classic blues bands, such as Hound Dog Taylor and the HouseRockers.
