Starting as a folky trio with original members Kim Parker (bass), Warwick Lobb (guitar) and Anthony Atkinson (vocals/ guitar), The Mabels would soon take shape upon the recruitment of drummer David Kneale in 1996. With their roots set in acoustic pop influences, The Mabels immediately released their first EP 'Caravan Park Girlfriend'. After a split 7" with the Lucksmiths and an Australian tour with The Simpletons, Ryan James was recruited to fill in on drums before their first full-length 'Scenes From a Midday Movie' came out in 1998. Their second album 'The Closest People' was released in 2000.
