Jesse & Shaun have been playing together since the late '90s when they were too young to go into bars. When the '50s rock & roll band they were in called the Devells broke up in 2000, they decided to try an instrumental project. Various different drummers came and went through the years. In 2004 Szandora joined the group as a Hoola Hoop go go dancer.
