From their website: The band consists of an ornithologist, a rusty russian translator, and a South African brotherhood. They were first united in a snow-encrusted garage in Oxford, where they instantly attracted the attention of Dr & Mrs Killjoy the neighbours.

After initially dabbling in Psychadelic Punk, Comic Jazz, Rocksteady, and banana costumes, the band honed their sound and instantly attracted the attention of Adam Briggs, brother of the ornithologist. Adam's trumpeting can now be heard on our debut single 'Zorbing', a song about the extreme sport invented in New Zealand by Andrew Akers and Dwayne van der Sluis. After throwing up, the band instantly attracted the attention of violinist Rahul Satija.

The band's extracurricular interests include hiking trips, tandem cycling, power-kiting, nature-watching and something called hackisack.

Up until early 2010 none of them had ever been to their Hebridean namesake.
