history
Sam Lloyd, George Miserlis and Paul F. Perry met while studying at Syracuse University . When they later moved to Los Angeles , they met Philip McNiven there.
In 2004 the group released their first album Riding the Wave on the Parody Records label . It includes almost all songs sung in Scrubs up to the fourth season and allegedly unauthorized conversations with the crew members of the series, which means that a close relationship to Scrubs is retained on the album.
The two band members Sam Lloyd and Paul F. Perry also play with two other musicians in the Beatles co-association The Butties .
The band could also be heard in the intro of the ZDFneo late night show NeoParadise .
