The Mint Chicks signed to legendary NZ label Flying Nun Records�'Octagon, Octagon, Octagon' came in 2003, the following year, a single �Blue Team Go!� came out on the highly respected Fierce Panda label in the UK (hyped as a 'one minute masterpiece' by Kerrang!). They released their second E.P: 'Anti-Tiger'�then 'F**k the Golden Youth', their debut album came next, which Australia's Blunt magazine called 'One of the best albums of 2005'. The band have played support slots for the White Stripes, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio, the Blood Brothers and many more�

�Crazy? YES! Dumb? NO!� has been mastered by the legendary Howie Weinberg (responsible for albums by The White Stripes, Nirvana, The Beastie Boys, & Gorillaz to name a few) at Masterdisk in New York.

�Welcome To Nowhere�, the first single from the album debuted at no.2 on the Alt charts this week.
