The band formed in 2010 as Brilliant Disguise, with musicians from Glasgow, Lanarkshire and Edinburgh, and after an intense rehearsal period, they launched their career in February 2011 with a low-key debut at Glasgow’s Islay Inn, where they were exceptionally well received. Further gigs followed in The Bongo Club, Edinburgh, Inverness Ironworks, Barrowlands 2, Dunfermline, East Kilbride and Dundee Doghouse.
