About
In 2008, the band won the 2008 APRA Silver Scroll for Song of the Year for their song "One Day".[7][8]
Jason Kerrison, the lead member of the group, appeared on The Masked Singer NZ as a tuatara, winning the first season.
In 2011, Kerrison built a bunker after watching the 2009 film 2012. He said that John Cusack's performance was convincing, causing him to think the end of the world was near.[9]
