[edit] Career
The band was founded in 1990 in Auckland, New Zealand. They were originally called Monsterland, but had to change their name upon moving to New York City the following year, because there was already a local band of that name.[1] They released an EP Falling Over, Spilling Over in 1992 on NYC indie label Homestead Records. Hamish's former label, New Zealand's Flying Nun, released the band's debut album A Trip Thru Monsterland in 1993.[2] After some personnel changes the band signed to Merge Records and their second album Sealight was released in 1996.
The band has released other singles and EPs on various indie labels (see the discography below). They play often in New York City, but they rarely record. They're working on a new LP at the moment.
Current band members in a revolving line-up include Hamish Kilgour, Lisa Siegel, Brian Turner, Josh Feldman, Gary Olson, Georgia Hubley, and Katie Gentile.
