The band was formed by singer/guitarist Donald Campbell and bassist James Askwith in Leeds in 2007. The band then went through a succession of drummers, the most recent being Alex Craggs and subsequently Felixx Bartlett.
The band played their first show with Alt-J, (then known as Daljit Dhaliwal), during which Campbell broke his guitar and spent the majority of the next half hour mumbling incoherently into the mic. Joe Newman then came to the rescue and lent Campbell his acoustic to play the remainder of their vastly over-run set, which consisted entirely of an over-extended cover of The Velvet Underground's Sister Ray.
