 In 2004, Spencer Tracy was selected to perform at SXSW in Austin, Texas, and began to attract a lot of international attention when Lee Jones unexpectedly left the band to concentrate on classical piano.The remaining members rallied together and after three rehearsals played the Lotto Skyworks and Perth Big Day Out to combined crowds of about 4,000 people.They then began touring the new lineup to enthusiastic crowds around rural Western Australia.
