A popular early recording, ''Anaconda Funky Limbo'', appeared on the 1993 compilation [[Discordia Concors]] (with their name misspelt "Romantic Andies"), featuring the popular sing-along lyrics "Bob Marley used to sing this song". The lineup at this time comprised [[Dylan Parry]] (vocals, jewish harp, percussion), [[John Worsley]] (acoustic guitar, vocals, percussion, toilet), [[Brendan White]] (acoustic bass, backing vocals), [[Hayden Biglow]] (cello, backing vocals), [[Dan Hodgkinson]] (drums) and [[Demelza Locke]] (backing vocals, percussion). They had three additional [[Contact]] live-to-air recordings released at the same time on the [[Inside the Wireless]] compilation. The band won the [[Contact 89FM]] busking competition in 1993, winning the chance to support ''the Muttonbirds'', but were unable to attend ([[MSU]] took their place). Their first major gig was instead supporting ''Jan Hellriegel'', and they were the major drawcard to the [[Hamapalooza]] gig in 1993.
