In 2005, they released two singles, as well as an album, Pattern Recognition. Reviews were mixed.[5][6][7] Their music was released on Artoffact Records and licensed in Europe to Alfa Matrix. In 2008, the band played at the Kinetik Festival, and their single "Lolife" was included on a compilation CD, KINETIK FESTIVAL VOLUME 2.
