History

Initially conceived of as a solo project, The Ethical Debating Society was formed as a band in 2009 by Tegan Christmas with Lauren Darling and Chris Morris.[8] They received an early name-check in The Guardian from Everett True.[9] Recordings were made with producer Ant Chapman, although only two tracks were included on a later EP.[10] By 2010 Darling and Morris had left and Tegan continued with a varying line up[11] until the group settled as Tegan with Eli Tupa[12] and Kris Martin[13] in 2013.[14]
