The band released its self-titled debut CD on Wednesday, August 15, 2001. The album featured the upbeat "There's a Life Somewhere" (track 6), brooding "Pleasing You" (track 2), and the bittersweet anthem "On My Own" (track 3).

Promotion for the release included a live television performance of "On My Own" on KTVI's Fox 2 In The Morning show the previous morning, a CD-release party and concert at Sally T's in St. Peters, Missouri, on the day of the release, and an in-store appearance at Vintage Vinyl in University City, Missouri, the following day.

During 2000 and 2001, the band played live shows for audiences in Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Minnesota and South Dakota, at world-famous venues like Mississippi Nights and the Hard Rock Cafe in St. Louis, Pop's in Sauget, Illinois, the Blue Note in Columbia, Missouri, and both Gallery Cabaret and Lyon's Den in Chicago, Illinois.

The group disbanded in the fall of 2001.
