The Buttless Chaps were formed in 1998. In 1999 they released a self-titled CD.[3] Their third album, Death Scenes I II III came out in 2001, and had a country rock theme.[4]
In 2006 the band released Where Night Holds Light on Mint Records,[5] and the album soon appeared on the campus and community radio charts.[6] They were featured on CBC Radio 3's Sessions in June 2007.
In an interview on CBC Radio 3 on January 7, 2009, Dave Gowans announced that the band would be breaking up after completing their remaining touring commitments. The band members moved on to other projects: McDonald to his band Fond of Tigers, Nilsen to Great Aunt Ida and The Violet Archers, Wilson to Clean and Pristine the NOEX Castaway, and Gowans to Cloudsplitter. Today, Gowans and Lutick also own the Vancouver record store Red Cat Records.
