Background and release

In August 2004, Regurgitator relocated to Federation Square, Melbourne, as part of Foxtel 's Australian music channel, Channel V's Band in a Bubble program, in which the band entered a small glass recording studio while the public could watch the band work, or tune into a 24-hour digital cable television channel.[5] This recording session resulted in the band's fifth studio album Mish Mash!, which was released in November 2004 and peaked at number 52 on the ARIA charts.[6]

The session were productive, with the group recording far more material than was required, and it was decided to release the excess material on an EP titled #*?! in August 2005.[7] Band member Peter Kostic explained "#*?! is the stuff that didn't go on the album, because we didn't have room and didn't want to do a double album. We decided to hold onto it and release it later."

Amongst the usual fusion of pop, rock, hip-hop and electronica is a 34-minute ambient piece, "Pillowhead Orchestra"; Kostic said "We did that really late one night in the bubble... It was a Friday or Saturday night and there were a lot of people just hanging around outside. Part of it was to just put on a weird show for them.[8]
