Simian Mobile Disco發展歷史

早期:
英國曼徹斯特大學的同學James Ford與Jas Shaw,一個主修生物學,一個主修哲學,這兩個同學沒事就愛在學校宿舍搞一些怪里怪氣的電音派對,兩人跟深受民謠音樂啓發的創作型歌手Simon Lord與彈貝斯的Alex MacNaughten在2000年的時候,跟隨着當時由Broadcast、The Beta Band等樂團所帶起的一種結合傳統搖滾歌曲創作與電音節奏的潮流風格,組了一個名叫Simian的電子搖滾樂團,由於James與Jas不喜歡他們好像是在一支搖滾樂團中負責節奏操盤的感覺,Simian在2005年宣告拆夥,兩人另組了Simian Mobile Disco(以下簡稱S.M.D.)樂團。SMD最早他們發行了一些單曲。比如在I'm A Cliche 發行的"The Mighty Atom / Boatrace / Upside Down"和在Kitsune Music發行的"The Count"。但是明顯的,他們通過這些單曲,他們的名氣比他們為一些著名樂隊混音的單曲如Muse, Klaxons, The Go! Team, Air 等的更要著名。2006年Kitsune Music發行了SMD與紐約一名女主唱Char Johnson.合作的的地下名曲"HUSTLER"
Attack Decay Sustain Release (2007)

SMD2007年12月5日為Klaxons在Brixton Academy助演 ,2007年12月9日和2007年12月12日為The Chemical Brothers在Aintree Pavilion和Brighton Centre助演。
Temporary Pleasure (2008-2009)

當他們製作第二張專輯時,他們發行了一張混音版專輯Sample And Hold。這張專輯包括11首歌曲,與2008年7月在英國發行。2009年1月,他們在自己的Myspace主頁上宣佈將在2009年發行新專輯。在2月12日他們發佈了第一首單曲"Synthesise"和其MV。兩天後,一首叫"10,000 Horses Can't Be Wrong"的歌曲在BBC Radio 1上播放。3月6日在他們的Youtube頻道上發佈了官方MV。
他們的第二張專輯Temporary Pleasure在5月6日發行,他們與很多音樂人合作了這張專輯,如Gruff Rhys of Super Furry Animals, Alexis Taylor of Hot Chip, Beth Ditto of Gossip,和Chris Keating of Yeasayer。
Delicatessen & Delicacies (2010-present)
在為他們為BBC Radio 1製作的歌曲宣傳期間,他們暗示期待會在2010年發行第三張專輯。
2010年3月,DJ Duo宣佈説會舉辦 Club Night Project--'Delicatessen'。並會在5月下旬在此活動上發佈第首單曲。最新的兩首單曲為"Aspic" 和"Nerve Salad".。SMD説他們新專輯的每首單曲都是以異國元素命名,並表示這樣非常新奇,和“美味”。
