A 'Side Project Band' created as a 'Spoof Comedy Band Act' for the '3rd Filipino Battle Of The Bands' in Athens, Greece, eventually turning the band a bit more serious about it since they won that contest. From then on, they played in various Festivals around Athens including the Major ANTIRACISM FESTIVAL.

It all started one Sunday Night when 'Mark Ryan Gumtang' showed 'Norman Anthony Balberan' on Youtube a guy named Glenn Ternal singing his own composition 'Sofa' during his audition at the Philippine Dream Academy. After that, Norman got pissed on Ryan for always singing the song and dared Ryan to sing it at the upcoming Filipino Battle Of The Bands, and Ryan agreed. Also on that same night Ryan managed to name their future band out of his famous phrase "Hi-Definition".

The next day Norman thought of other people to join the band. He then contacted 'Dyril Alcantara' to play the Bass and 'Angelo Carino' on Drums. He then accidentally bumped onto 'Albert Cusi' on a bus and asked him to take the Lead Guitar part and lastly called 'Mark Denson Garcia' to handle the Rhythm Position. So the band was complete but Norman thought it wasnt still Spicy enough to be a Spoof Band. Questions raised upon his head whether they need a good song or what. And there came up the idea to get 'Aldwin Cabuyao' and 'Jeffrey Lou Diaz' as Backup Vocals after Angelo showed him a spoof of the song Umbrella by Vanilla Sky.

Drastically and unexpectedly, Ryan quit after there were only a few days left before the Battle Of The Bands so they had to dump 'Sofa' out of their list, making the band to only have one Spoof song. The idea of a Spoof Band wasnt a success, but surprisingly, they won the contest and the rest is history...
