Dimos muy pocos conciertos y hubo largos parones.En enero de 2002, fuimos invitados por el portal de m\u00fasica Popmadrid.com a tocar en una fiesta en la sala Moby Dick . Despu\u00e9s de vernos en aquel concierto nos fich\u00f3 Rock Indiana, discogr\u00e1fica con la que grabamos nuestro primer disco, titulado \"The Sunday Drivers\". \u00c9ste primer LP sali\u00f3 a la venta en el mes de julio del 2002: son 11 canciones, algunas ya existentes en las maquetas, grabadas en los Estudios Brazil de Rivas-Vaciamadrid durante el mes de abril de aquel a\u00f1o, con Javier Ortiz como ingeniero de sonido y productor. Posteriormente, del disco se extrajo el single \"Time, time, time\" (febrero 2003).Para la grabaci\u00f3n de los teclados que aparecen en \"The Sunday Drivers\", le pedimos su colaboraci\u00f3n a Juli\u00e1n que, desde aquel momento, se convirti\u00f3 en un nuevo miembro del grupo.A ra\u00edz de la publicaci\u00f3n del disco empezamos a tocar m\u00e1s asiduamente; actuamos en algunos festivales (Esp\u00e1rrago, Lemon Pop, Supers\u00f3nico, Autumn Almanac, Summer in the City \u2026) y en muchas ciudades. Sin duda, la primera mitad del 2003 fue muy importante para el grupo: primer puesto en el concurso de J\u00f3venes Artistas de Castilla-La Mancha, tercer premio en el Villa de Bilbao, acompa\u00f1amos a los Jeevas y a Arlo en sus respectivas giras por Espa\u00f1a\u2026 en total, unos 100 conciertos en a\u00f1o y medio que tuvieron su colof\u00f3n en el FIB de 2003.Despu\u00e9s del verano del 2003 empezamos a pensar en grabar de nuevo.

Con ellos emprendimos el proyecto del 2\u00bc disco, \"Little heart attacks\", que se public\u00f3 el mes de junio de 2004.El disco tuvo un proceso largo de elaboraci\u00f3n: varios meses de preproducci\u00f3n y otros cuantos en el estudio. \"Little heart attacks\" lo grab\u00f3, mezcl\u00f3 y produjo JM Rosillo en su estudio de Madrid (Supersonic Lounge) durante los meses de marzo y abril.

Fuimos a algunos festivales (Ebrovisi\u00f3n, Faraday, Fra de Alaqu\u00e1s, Medinasonora, F.M. Pop\u2026 y volvimos al FIB) y fuimos a ciudades de toda Espa\u00f1a.La gira se ha extendido mucho, hasta el verano de 2005: m\u00e1s festivales (B-Side Festival, Metrorock, Sonorama, Contempopranea, Pulpop\u2026) y m\u00e1s ciudades. Un a\u00f1o exacto.De entre todos los conciertos, guardamos un recuerdo especial de nuestro paso por el Festival Transmusicales de Rennes (Francia): fue nuestra primera salida al extranjero. Tambi\u00e9n recordamos con especial cari\u00f1o el concierto en la sala Arena de Madrid y nunca olvidaremos la experiencia que supuso ser elegidos para telonear a Wilco en su gira espa\u00f1ola.El 26 de abril de 2005, la compa\u00f1\u00eda francesa Na\u00efve edit\u00f3 \"Little heart attacks\" en Francia y ya est\u00e1 siendo publicado en otros pa\u00edses europeos (Holanda. Grecia, Luxemburgo, B\u00e9lgica\u2026). La acogida del disco en Francia ha sido excepcional, lo que nos permiti\u2014 tocar en varios festivales (Vieilles Charrues, Rock en Seine, Artrock, Les Mediterran\u00e9es, Musilac Aix-les-Bains, JDM Festival\u2026) y realizar una gira de tres semanas por toda Francia en octubre del mismo a\u00f1o.A principios de 2006 nos metimos en un proyecto muy ilusionante llamado Un-pop Classik: un total de 6 conciertos acompa\u00f1ados con una orquesta que nos llev\u00f3 a algunos festivales en Francia, Dinamarca, B\u00e9lgica y que termin\u00f3 en el Festival Internacional de Benicassim.Casi a la vez praparamos las canciones del nuevo disco, \"Tiny Telephone\", que grabamos en el estudio del mismo nombre en San Francisco (EE.UU). El disco tard\u00f3 dos semanas en grabarse y fue producido por Brad Jones.Hubo tambi\u00e9n m\u00e1s conciertos, pero debemos destacar el que tuvo lugar en la Playa de Riazor (A Coru\u00f1a) junto a Paul Weller en el mes de agosto.Si bien el disco se grab\u00f3 en 2006, no fue hasta abril de 2007 cuando se edit\u00f3 tanto en Espa\u00f1a como en Francia.Ahora mismo estamos presentando el nuevo disco con una gira por todo el pa\u00eds; sabemos que arranc\u00f3 el pasado junio con un concierto inolvidable en la sala Joy Eslava de Madrid pero no sabemos cu\u00e1ndo acabar\u00e1.
