They recorded an EP in november 2007 entitled The Legendary Tale of Captain Baz containing a mixture of their favourite tracks including: the jewish/kletzer influence The AtchaAtcha Pixie Doodle, the psychadelic groove Cosmic Jelly, the fonkey Fulfillingly Unsatisfied, and the rocking funkfest of Captain Baz.
