History

July 2006, their song 苦艾酒 was included in the X-Music Magazine no. 321.

December 29th 2008, they signed to Maybe Mars Records and their second record We can't help kissing each other is released. Further in December, their song 我們不由自主的親吻対方 is included in the X-Music Magazine no. 379.

2009, October 3rd until November 7th, they went on their Low Wormwood 2009 China Tour throughout the whole nation. October 25th they stopped at Shanghai's Yuyintang. According to Jake Newby: There was a honesty and down to earth nature of the band that was hard not to like. The band members seemed a bit awkward at being the centre of attention, as if they didn't quite understand why everyone kept cheering and clapping for them. When the lead singer first spoke to the crowd it was merely to say "this is our second or third time in Shanghai... err... I don't really have anything to say."But there was no real need for banter with the audience - populated mostly with dedicated fans by the looks of things, with a few fellow Lanzhou people amongst them as well. The music and the songs were enough to get people captivated and the shyness of the band only made their performance more absorbing.^[1]
