Poliness later appeared as drummer for ex-Bad Seeds member, Hugo Race & The True Spirit, and featured on stage and on record with Mick Harvey, Brian Henry Hooper (Beasts of Bourbon, Kim Salmon, Rowland S. Howard), and many more. Joining Poliness for the duo’s debut is vocalist, Katie Scott, whose searing lyricism and onstage presence are trademarks well-known to Australian alt-rock audiences.
