Their debut album Energy State came out in 2003 on the Sugarlicks label, the product of 14 months of recording sessions at the Sugarlicks studio. 

Their sophomore effort Soup Kitchen was released in 2006 on Tardus Music. Between the first and second album, the band managed to lose all but three of the original members. It’s hard work keeping a band that big together.

The band made their name with their enjoyable live shows, creating a funky laidback dance vibe. Live highlights for the band included performing at Fest Na’puan in Vanuatu, playing at Te Papa for The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers premiere and opening for The Black Eyed Peas at the St James back in 2002.

Their third album Stand Up To The Shakedown was recorded over a weekend in 2007 at York St Studios as live sessions with family and friends in attendance and came out independently later that year. They chose to do the album as a live, one-take effort in reaction to the painfully drawn out process that they endured making their previous two albums – for example, their second album was started in April 2005 and released in September 2006. They also wanted to try and capture the live spirit of the band on record.

At the time of recording their third album, the decision to end the band had already been made. Singer Richie wanted to focus on his solo project Bannerman, started in 2003 but put aside for One Million Dollars. The band called it a day in 2008, playing their last ever live shows in April and went their separate ways, promising “never again, not even if you paid us heaps of money.”
