History
editThe band was formed in 2002, with Tolhurst and Levinson assisted by guitarist/keyboardist Dayton Borders. Their debut album, Perfect Life, was released in 2004.[2] This was followed in 2006 by an EP called The Grey, which featured a cover of the early Cure song "All Cats Are Grey".[1] Their second full-length album, House by the Sea, was released in 2007.[3] By this point, guitarist/bassist Eric Bradley had joined the band.[4]
In 2009, Levinhurst was joined by another former member of the Cure, Michael Dempsey, on bass and keyboards. This lineup released the album Blue Star in 2009,[5] with a guest appearance by Tolhurst and Levinson's then 16 year-old son Gray Tolhurst on guitar.[1]
