The band was signed with Record Collection and released their only full-length album, Carnivore, in September 2006.
Blake Mills (guitar) left the band shortly after Carnivore's release.
Two of its founding members, Taylor Goldsmith (vocals, guitar, keys, lyrics) and Blake Mills (vocals, guitar, and lyrics), began playing music together in junior high at Malibu High School, and their middle names formed the band name.
Their sound evolved with replacements Wylie Gelber (bass) and Stuart Johnson (drums).
Along with playing many California shows, Simon Dawes toured with The Walkmen, Maroon 5,[1] Band of Horses, Eisley, Wolfmother and Incubus, among other artists.
