Shortly after they moved to The Doghouse, a respected music venue in Dundee's city centre, where they came to the attention of local music promoters, management and ever-growing fan-base. Currently signed to 1965 Records, the band's debut single, "Wasted Little DJs", was released in 2006. The single entered the UK MTV/NME video charts on tthe 9th July 2006 and climbed to top this chart the same day it reached 15 in the UK singles chart on the 13th August 2006. They have recently released their first album, 'Hats Off to the Buskers, which entered the British album chart at number one.
