The band formed in high school Cork, Ireland, in 1988, taking their name from a Wonder Stuff song. Having toured Ireland to the point of saturation with their first release A Lifetime In One Day, they relocated to Boston, Massachusetts, in January 1997, and began what would become a 60-week residency performing at The Burren Irish Pub and Restaurant, in the Davis Square area of Somerville, Massachusetts. They won 3 Boston Music Awards within one year of arriving in America.
