Everything began in 2002 in a certain home studio...

1. We shot Dumbo
The first documented images of the band are from the 'Dumbo' video shoot that took place in both Hailuoto and Ii during summer 2002. At this point Morley consisted of four people. Pentti Amore (vocals, guitar), Bovoc (vocals), Hope Langoman (bass) and Frank Milane (guitars).

2. Oijärvi
A cabin in Oijärvi was the place where the band trained hard for their first performance in Helsinki. Later on the gig was cancelled.

3. Semifinal, Helsinki
Morley's first actual gig was in Semifinal, Helsinki in the autumn of 2003. At this point, Dr. Bathole had joined the band and taken over the drum machines job.

The band was invited to play in a small and comfy rock event in Hailuoto too.

5. 2004!
The world changes and most bands do the same. During 2004 Frank Milane decided to leave the band. Fortunately a local celebrity, Lebu Tsernobyl, was willing to take his place. Milane changed his name to "When Evil Spirits Attack" and joined the band with his keyboards.
One of the first gigs with this new setup occured in Hollihaka, Oulu at a touring art happening.
