The band signed with Island Records before releasing their debut single "Nothing Matters" in April 2023, which became a top 20 UK hit.

[2] Morris (from London),[3][4] Davies (from Australia) and Mayland (from Hebden Bridge) met in 2018 during Freshers' Week at King's College London,[5][6] and decided to form a band after frequently attending gigs together at The Windmill, feeling inspired by being part of the scene around the venue, with bands such as Black Midi and HMLTD.

[9][10] The band initially struggled to find time to rehearse together because of the COVID-19 lockdown in the UK, and they did not perform live until their first gig at The George in London in November 2021.

[12] They spent the following year honing their sound and building word-of-mouth support on the live circuit in London, including playing a set as the opening act (while still called The Dinner Party) for the Rolling Stones in Hyde Park in July 2022,[13] along with supporting Benee on her world tour for the London show.

[16] During the summer of 2023 the band supported Hozier[17] and played several festivals in the UK, Ireland and Europe, including Glastonbury and Latitude.

[27] "Nothing Matters", was described as "art-rock bombast" by Rolling Stone UK,[18] while the Evening Standard described their music and live shows as having a "distinctive baroque-pop sound and look".

[28] The band have been compared to David Bowie,[29] Fleetwood Mac,[29] Kate Bush,[18] Siouxsie and the Banshees,[30] Roxy Music,[31] ABBA,[32] Queen,[33] Sparks,[30] Florence and the Machine[34] and Warpaint.

[1] The band's members have cited Queen,[35] St. Vincent,[35] Chappell Roan[36] and Lana Del Rey[36] as leading influences.
