Before Del Toro formed in 2005, Adam Dodd was in an even more obscure band called The Morgue, with Craig Davidson (keyboards), Shannon Huber (keyboards), Troy Lockhart (drums), and Luke Dodd (bass guitar). Their main claim to fame was sharing a rehearsal space with The Standing 8 Counts, next to a room inhabited by Screamfeeder and Powderfinger, on Vulture St. This live recording was made circa. 2001 in that space.

Del Toro was an instrumental power trio from Brisbane, Australia. Active between 2005-2010, they released two EPs (Despres, Formicae) and a full length album (Hydra). Opening for a diverse range of touring bands such as Dinosaur Jr, Built to Spill, Brant Bjork, Trans Am, Mono, Partyline, and Ratatat, they earned a reputation as progressive genre-benders at a time when garage rock and post rock seemed to be pulling local independent music in opposite directions.
