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.
I april 2004 efter en forespørgsel fra The Animals, der skulle til at påbegynde deres 40 års jubilæumstour, blev Chip Hawkes (fra The Tremeloes) bedt om at grundlægge et band til at tage med på tour med dem.
