The band, originally created in the mid-seventies, features David First,  Stephen Bilenky, and Barry Halkin. After a nearly thirty year hiatus,  the three original members have chosen to breathe new life into The  Notekillers, a band that Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth fame described so  poignantly as "way ahead of its time", adding "they had a big influence  on me". Moore went on to release "Notekillers - 1977 -1981" on his  label Ecstatic Peace, which was received with great acclaim and quickly  became the most played "Loud Rock" recording for two months straight on  WFMU.
In the fall of 2010 the band released an album of new tracks developed during their second incarnation called "We're Here to Help" on Prophase Records.
