All four members were natives of the state of Texas. In addition, Tommy Rennick was previously a member of 37 South and the Allison Paige band. Fred Stallcup was previously a member of Lucious Funk. Lance Leslie was formerly in South 65.
In 2006, the group was signed to Asylum-Curb Records. Shortly afterward, their first single (titled "Kill Me Now") was released to radio, reaching a peak of 42 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. Co-written by John Rich, Vicky McGehee and Anthony L. Smith, it received a positive rating from Deborah Evans Price of Billboard, who called it "promising". The band released an album, Painted Pony, in 2010.
Stallcup and Rivera found a second band in 2012 called Sweetwater Rain, which was also signed with Curb.
