They started playing at Portland Saturday Market and busking outside of bigger shows, mostly so they could get enough money to get into the show and buy some beer. After a bit they decided to start playing punk shows so they added bass and drums. A few big shows with Broken Bones, The Tossers, and the Real McKenzies helped quickly establish them in the Portland music scene. The release of "Cruisin' for a Boozin'" in November 2006 led to their first tour shortly thereafter. Since then they've toured the US three times and the West Coast over a dozen times. They released a split CD in 2008 on Rodent Popsicle with Hammered Grunts called "Pick Yer Poison", and recently released a full-length on Crash Assailant entitled "Blackwater".
