Rising from the smouldering ashes of doomed cover band Haggard and avant-garde post folk-rock experimentalists Total Annihilation, Thieving Drunkards released their epic self-titled debut in the summer of 2003 on an unsuspecting village called Drumnadrochit, gaining both fame and noteriety in equal measure. Not content with resting on the laurels of their new found outlaw status, the band began work on the devastating 2005 follow up, The Floaty Journey Of The Leg Spacehog. Working through inner band turmoil, vast financial problems and relationship meltdowns, it proved to be the most rockingest 35 minutes of pure rock that had ever rocked Drumnadrochit.
Following a short but legendary tour of the Drumnadrochit village hall, the band retreated in early 2006 to undisclosed locations to deal with undisclosed problems, allegedly related to over-rocking. Spotted occasionally by the most daring of paparazzi, the band members had now supposedly grown their hair to frightening lengths and were rumoured to be working on a new album known only as '3'.
