This Et Al formed in Bradford / Leeds in November 2002. All of their releases enjoyed airtime on MTV2, as well as BBC Radio 1 and XFM. They toured with Minus The Bear, Scarling., Amusement Parks On Fire and ¡Forward, Russia!, and also appeared at the Download Festival and Leeds Festival.[2] After a run of sold out singles and heavy touring for several years, the band released their debut album, Baby Machine, on 9 April 2007. After a couple of member changes and a tour in Germany, the band released Figure Eight EP (19 May 2008) followed by a retrospective collection entitled B-Sides & Rarities. The group disbanded in June 2008 following a run of internal disagreements.
Drummer Steve Wilson, after a stint in fellow Leeds act, Dinosaur Pile-up, now plays for the London based band Japanese Voyeurs, while former bassist and original member Gavin Bailey is now the frontman of the synthpop act, Secret Circuits.
