Icon Girl Pistols formed in March 2008 when eccentric bottanist Shinnosuke Shirakura, infamous for the "Daikanyama Fruits" incident which destroyed his career and reputation, discovered neighbourhood ragamuffin Ken Fukuda lurking amongst his rhododendrons. The boy was employed to help explore the catacombs beneath that terrible mansion, and one cold November night the pair stumbled upon a mysterious and wonderful suitcase from which emerged the 19th century scholar and rogue Christopher David O'Reilly. In a bizarre twist of events, they released a debut album and subsequently a series of free download singles from their website. Some say that another shadowy figure was a part of the organisation at this point in time, but the evidence is inconclusive.

In the summer of 2011, the trio retreated into the scenery of an animated film and recorded a selection of new songs for a new record titled "Goodbye Donuts (Hey, Statue of Liberty)", available on October 22nd 2011. This was be preceeded by the release of a free acoustic EP featuring songs both heard and unheard, and a stripped down version of the title track from the upcoming release.
