 They were signed to Righteous Babe Records.The group began as a duo with Brian Wolff and Tony Nozero performing weekend nights for tips on Sixth Street in downtown Austin.Originally the band was called "Just Drums & Tuba" and consisted only of a drummer (Nozero) and tuba player (Wolff), but soon they added a guitarist (Neal McKeeby) to their lineup because they had a hard time finding additional horn players.
