History
After they formed, they self produced and released a five track EP, "The Fabulous" in 2004.

In May 2006, they released their debut album "Arrangements For Fulminating Vective" on Lambgoat Records. The album was mixed by Eric Rachel and mastered by Alan Douches.

In June 2008, vocalist Tony Saputo left the band. The band intended to find another vocalist, but decided to continue for their second album as an instrumental band. In October 2009, "Fea Jur" was released as their sophomore effort on the record label Black Market Activities.

The band's name comes from Edward Gorey's book of the illustrated alphabet, in which J is for James who took lye by mistake.
