The band started in late 2008 when Andrew Savage and Jason Kelly were working on the Teenage Cool Kids' album Foreign Lands, which Kelly was recording/mixing. Andrew was attending University of North Texas at the time.
The initial idea for the band was to draw from such influences as Mothers of Invention and The Four Tops.[1] Praise for recordings leaked on the internet helped garner attention early in the band's career.[2] In July 2009 Woodsist released the first single, "Harder Than It's Ever Been".
On recording, Savage and Kelly are the main performers, but are joined live by a rotating personnel of musicians.[3]
