The band began in 2013 as a solo outlet for Behrens while GLO was on hiatus. He enlisted Wilson as producer and music director and quickly Wilson and Behrens decided it was better it be band as the two loved the open collaboration and comradery.

The duo became known for their unique high energy and volume performances using outdated technology such as analog tape machines and handmade synthesizers while still being a great rock guitar and frontman show. The band released two full length albums “Heartbreak Bugaloo” (2015) and “Western Static “ (2017) both met with critical acclaim and warm reception. The Duo took hiatus in 2018 while Behrens worked again on Ghostland Observatory and recorded and toured new music in 2018-2019. Wilson took up residence as the lead guitarist in the legendary Heartless Bastards touring all of 2021-2023 and founded his record label Mr Pink Records 2018.
