Different sources tell of different origins of the band’s name. Some claim it derives from the 1985 movie The Goonies; however, the band denied this live on air on BBC Radio 2’s Jonathan Ross Show on 9 September 2006. Others tell of the band forming from a four-piece band who would play at weddings. They were nominated for Best Breakthrough Band in the 2007 Brit Awards.
