Dead Pan Rangers formed in 1997 as Mystery Machine, changing their name in 1999. Mike Wilson (bass and vocals) and Darren Nugent (guitar) have played together since the bands inception, but they have been through a large number of drummers. The current drummer, Bevan, joined in 2003. The have released two full length albums, Dead Pan Rangers (1999), and We've done so much good for so many people (2004), and an E.P. Not much less further than last time (2005). The band relocated to London in 2005 and played shows in England and Germany throughout the year. They returned to NZ in January 2006 for a short tour. A compilation featuring tracks from their albums and EP was released as a bonus CD with A Low Hum (Series 3, Issue 2).
