The band play at a public house called The Elephant and Wheelbarrow in Victoria, Australia.[1] for Neighbours Night to meet fans.[2] The band often tour the UK, where Fletcher is well-known because of his role in the Australian soap opera Neighbours.[3][4]
The band released their debut album In the Waiting Room in 2005.
With Fletcher's link to Neighbours, a couple of their songs have been about Neighbours characters including Sleeping Alongside Susan which was a remix of Smokie's Living Next Door to Alice.[5] This was in reference to his characters relationship with Izzy Hoyland.
