Classed as a Britpop band, given that their appearance and initial huge success with songs such as Slight Return coincided synchronously with the Britpop explosion, their debut record Expecting To Fly appeared in 1996.
Following two further albums on major, A&M/Universal (1998's Return To The Last Chance Saloon and 2000's Science and Nature), they signed to the big indie, Cooking Vinyl in 2003 for Luxembourg and 2006's The Bluetones.
The band released their final album, A New Athens, in 2010, and completed their farewell tour in September 2011.
It was announced on 13 April 2015 they the band were reforming for a tour. They have subsequently toured on further occasions, including a headline slot on the 2017 Star Shaped Festival tour.
