Nations by the River only created a single album, Holes in the Valley, before the members went back to their main bands.
Nations By The River formed during the Gelbison/The Sleepy Jackson tour of early 2003, when Luke Steele (Sleepy Jackson) and Edo Kahn (Gelbison) started jamming and writing songs in a car park after misplacing their van's keys.
[2] Dove Kahn soon joined in and Nations By The River was established as a side project for the three.
[3] The album was recorded in three days[4] as a stripped-back and live experience with engineer/co-producer Scott Horscroft (Sun, The Husbands).
[5] In the studio, Nations were joined by friends and local musicians, including Sarah Blasko and Hamish Stuart.
