Formed in 2001, the band took their name from the fact that they were sharing chalet accommodation at the All Tomorrow's Parties music festival in East Sussex, 2001.

Their first release, "Two Chord Song" was a split 7-inch (with Neosupervital) on the independent label RoadRelish, for which the band made their own artwork.

The band were selected by the Irish government to represent Ireland by travelling to Slovenia in 2005 to take part in the celebrations for the country's adoption into the European Union.

[citation needed] They also wrote the music for TG4's IFTA award-winning youth drama Aifric.

The band announced their split on 15 February 2008 by means of a blog post on their Myspace page, citing a lack of financial viability as the cause.
