Darr, a singer-songwriter, brought together a group of local Calgary musicians under the name Flu in 1997.
[3] Musicians included Darr, Brent Hodgins aka "The Colonel", Mark Radloff and Paul Sperman.
In 2004, Darr, with Sperman on drums and some guitar and backup vocals from Jerrod Maxwell-Lyster, began work on the album, and recorded a single which became a Canadian Top 40 hit, a rocked-up cover of Madonna's song "Music".

Maxwell-Lyster and Shawcross went on to form a local Calgary band called AutoBody.
