[edit] History
Forming in 2001, they began by playing punk house parties and low profile shows before being discovered by acclaimed New Zealand independent record label Flying Nun Records. Described by the NME as 'the only band in the southern hemisphere', they have released four records under the Flying Nun Records banner: Octagon, Octagon Octagon (2003), Anti-Tiger (2004), Fuck The Golden Youth (2005) and Crazy? Yes! Dumb? No! (2006). All of which were produced and recorded by the band's core members Ruban and Kody Nielson, with the exception of 'Crazy? yes! Dumb? no!' which was produced by the Nielson brothers and their father Chris Nielson.
