In 2002, Rick decided it was time for a new R.E.M. tribute band
This line-up debuted on January 1st 2003, and over the next few years built up an enviable reputation as an authentic and entertaining tribute, playing all over the UK with regular visits to Ireland and also Europe. During this time the band's web site became the most popular on search engines Google and MSN, and the vast majority of venues - from small clubs to huge festivals - have made regular return bookings.

Highlights
• Performing live for Michael Stipe (who described the band as 'awesome') on BBC's “The One Show”
• Regular trips to Ireland & Europe
• Hugely successful festival appearance in Blackburn, Liverpool, Poole & Belgium, Sicily and Italy
• Release of a self-penned CD single "(Need to) Breathe"
• Described by Bang! magazine as “an R.E.M. fan's wet dream”
