In the 6 years they were a band, Troubled Hubble played over 400 shows, criss-crossing the United States of America. The band played shows in every state except Alaska and Hawaii, and toured Canada twice, earning a substantial following of college kids and mainstream music fans. In June 2004, Troubled Hubble traveled to Washington D.C. to record what would be their last album. The album was recorded at Inner Ear Studios and produced by former Dismemberment Plan guitarist Jason Caddell.
