In early 2010 Northeast Party House began playing warehouse parties and local venues and quickly gained a following based on their reputation for delivering high energy live shows.

A demo version of the band's track 'Dusk' gained local airplay, eventually winning Triple J's Unearthed[2] competition and being invited to play at the Pyramid Rock Festival 2010.

In 2011 the band played alongside acts such as Does It Offend You, Yeah? (UK), The Go! Team (UK), Kimbra and Ball Park Music as well as finishing the year with a stand out set at Falls Festival.[3]

The group self-released their debut self-titled EP in November 2011, featuring four tracks including lead single "Embezzler".[4] and a new version of "Dusk".[5]
