The other members being Todd Griffiths and Dean Davies. The band went on indefinite hiatus in 2002 and reconvened in 2010. By 1997 their second release took them from obscurity to the band of choice on line-ups and supports in mere months. In 1998, to support their EP "Seasides", they embarked on their first Australian tour and featured on ABC Television's 'Recovery'. A change in drummer in mid-1998 reinvigorating the band, writing 30 songs in 6 months. They recorded their debut album Turnstyle Country in 1998/99 as a self-funded, unsigned band, eventually signing to Spunk! Records after being turned down by Sony for being too weird. The first single "Spray Water On The Stereo" gained airplay and TV coverage, reaching 16 on the ARIA charts and number 7 on its independent counterpart chart. The band toured throughout the year, joining Trans Am on tour and playing the Glenworth Valley Weekender with The Foo Fighters, The Avalanches and The Offspring. Over the next two years, shows included a tour with Guided By Voices and supporting their heroes Yo La Tengo. In 1999 their song, 'Spray Water on the Stereo' was featured on the Triple J Hottest 100 as number 94.
Spent musically, in the face of a changing industry and personal circumstances, the band managed one more album, Turnstyle Corporation in 2001 shortly before announcing a break from live performance and recording. Two sold-out shows heralded what became an 8-year hiatus. The band reunited in 2010, then permsnently in 2013. They released the album Time Equals Function in 2015, mixed and mastered in London by Andy Ramsay of Stereolab. In 2018 Turnstyle released Happy Factories, a crisp record that eschewed pedestrian themes for more contemplative subject matter. The album features vocals by Pavement's Bob Nastanovich on one song.

They are represented by a replica of their late 90s stage set up featuring 3 keyboards attached to an ironing board. The compilation "Key Note Speaker" was released by Valve Records, home to Regurgitator, Shonen Knife and others.
