The band's debut release, The Au EP, was recorded in their lock up located in a secret location within Newcastle.[2] Going beyond a simple rehearsal area, this space has also been used by the band to record video sessions of their tracks, as well as hosting intimate gigs the band occasionally organised.[3]

On 15 August 2012, the band announced through a blog post that they had decided to end Mammal Club, citing dissatisfaction towards the music scene.[4]
