The band started playing in 1998 with long musical sessions somewhere downtown Utrecht. Covers by the Meat Puppets and the Minutemen were soon to be followed by their first EP for the famous Zabel label. (the famous screw Ep 2000) After playing a dozen shows with notorious bands like the Mercy Giants, WevsDeath en DoMakeSayThink in clubs like Tivoli and Paradiso it was time for their first full length album. Friendly Fire from the Midnight Flanger appeared in 2003 and received great responses.

After a few years in witch the band continued their journey despite some mental depressions they finally decided to record their second album. Lord Palf will be released on the 23rd of September on the Dying Giraffe label and includes nine new songs. It’s a great musical trip and a challenge for the listener, and although there are influences like Nick Cave and Smog the band has kept their unique own identity.


The four guys are known by their extreme long rehearsals (7 hours are not an exception) and their extreme long breaks during the live performances (to be honest, it used to be this way)
