The band was formed in 2005 and were featured on Triple J Unearthed.[1] The band won the 2008 Australia-wide 'Garage to V' competition held by Virgin Mobile to win a slot at all shows of the Australian V Festival in 2008,[2] while the band has also performed at the Falls Festival, Meredith Music Festival, the Big Day Out, the Pyramid Rock Festival and the Laneway Festival.

Little Red's songs "Waiting", "Coca-Cola" and "Witch Doctor" have all received regular play on Australian nationwide radio station Triple J,[3] while "Coca-Cola" was also included on the official soundtrack of Australian TV series Underbelly, and was voted #47 on the 2008 Triple J Hottest 100.

The band independently released in Australia an album entitled Listen to Little Red on 28 June 2008,[4] which debuted at number 29 on the ARIA Charts.[5] The album was licensed for release outside of Australia by the UK independent Lucky Number Music[6] and was released on 16 November 2009 in the UK and early 2010 internationally.

In September, 2010, the band released a second album, Midnight Remember, featuring the single, "Rock It" which gained a gold accreditation[7] and #2 in Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2010, with the album's second single "Slow Motion" securing 79th position.[8] The single "Rock It" also received the Australian Independent Record (AIR) Award for 'Best Independent Single/EP'.[9]
