[edit] History
Formed when songwriter / producer Harry Vanda left Albert Productions after a 27 year association, and teamed up with son Daniel Vandenberg to build a recording complex in inner-city Sydney. One of the first projects brought to them was by Nic Cester of Jet who had formed the Australian supergroup The Wrights in 2004. The project resulted in a re-make of the 11 minute mid-70s hit "Evie Parts 1, 2 & 3" which peaked in the Australian ARIAnet singles chart at #2 in March 2005. Later that year Harry and Daniel teamed up with David Hasselhoff, recording and producing the #3 UK Singles Chart hit "Jump In My Car".
