Formation

The project started when Lucas started writing and sending songs to an ex-girlfriend in an effort to win her back.[1] Originally the songs were not intended for release, but upon realizing he had an album's worth of material he put together a band to play with. Randy Payne and Tom Szidon were recruited from Lucas' cover band The Cold Space, and Aaron Duggins and Rebecca Manthe came from The Tossers.

Scott Lucas and The Married Men released their first album on February 16, 2010, titled George Lassos The Moon.
