By April 2004 at the request of The Animals, who were about to do their 40th anniversary tour, Chip Hawkes (formerly of The Tremeloes) was asked to form a band to tour along with them.
V dubnu 2004 na žádost The Animals, kteří se chystali oslavovat své 40. výročí, byl Chip Hawkes (bývalý člen The Tremeloes) požádán, aby vytvořil kapelu, která by s nimi jela na turné.
