The former NOUSSOMMES duo of singer Paul Kettley and guitarist Nick Dunne forged TRIBE in Bradford, West Yorkshire during September 2006. Dunne also holds live credits with TOBY JEPSON.

Manning the drums for a first set of demos would be Michael Lee, a veteran of THIN LIZZY, LITTLE ANGELS, HOLOSADE and THE CULT. The BLOODSTREAM credited Adam Goldsmith then took over on drums.
