The started out in the summer of 1998; their first two albums were a mix of punky hot rods songs and surf instrumentals, while the third one was fully instrumental and the last, in 2007, a full vocal one. After that, the four members went their own ways for a while before the 2020 Mighty Gordinis reboot with their new full instrumental album. The band is now reduced to two members Nico on drums and Hammond and Eric St John on Fender Jaguar and bass. The title of the album Sounds From A Distant Galaxy reflects their new musical expansion of influences, exploring some grounds they never dared to go to before: they incorporated some kraut rock elements, some dub sounds, some spy movie soundtracks and even some cool groovy influences à la acid jazz, be it Corduroy or Mother Earth - anything to keep them away from the traditional surf sound. That being said, they did include a couple of classic surf tracks!
