Formed in 1996 by high school friends Suzuki (Vo), Maejima (G, cho), Terada (Dr), and college friend Matsui (B, cho). Influenced by Teenage Fanclub, they began to create songs with emphasis on melody and chorus.

They were deeply touched by bands that Teenage Fanclub covered like Big star, Byrds and Yo La Tengo. Their Glasgow sound was different from British Pop.

In 1999, they made their first album gFarmer1h (tape) and sold it at Shimokitazawafs Highline Record, and was no.1 in monthly sales. gTowerh recorded in that album was later rerecorded to be released from Victor in the compilation album grabid chords compilation vol.1h. This is there one and only major song.

Released their mini album gThere is no riverh from Tinstar Records in 2001, but soon after took a break from musical activities.

In April 2003, Natumen and Saladabarfs guitarist Yuuki Yashiro on drums, and Saladabarfs bassist Kentaro Yabe joins and makes a fresh start. Teruaki Yamamoto from Hasband also participated in chorus, and continues to the present.

All members except main vocal Suzuki has changed, but the agricultural approach in their music, the feeling to let things flow naturally has remained unchanged.
