Peter Viskinde and Anders Blichfeldt first met in 1988 for the recording of a demo tape for the band "The Werners" that later changed name to "Verners Verdensorkester". The band fell apart in the late 80's due to lack of audience. They formed a new band named after the lyrics of a Bob Dylan song called "Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle" and released their first album "Big Fat Snake" in 1991. Througout the 90's they have released a range of records and build up an devoted audience in Denmark. In 1997 the bands original bass player Jacob Perbøll quit the band and was replaced by Asger Steenholdt. In 2003 they recorded a live album, "One Night Of Sin", together with the original Elvis Presley TCB Band and The Sweet Inspirations On the 3rd March 2009 it was announced that Viskinde had left the band due to disagreements with the other bands members, in particular lead singer Anders Blichfeldt. Viskinde then released the album "Reel 1" under the Big Fat Snake name claiming he owned the rights to it. On the 16th June 2009 the band name was assigned to the original band members in an out-of-court settlement, where Viskinde agreed to use another name for his new band. In 2009 Morten "Jay" joined the band and became their new bassplayer.
