They moved to Sydney, Australia, forming a ten-piece band and releasing their debut album Something's Gonna Start (2007). The Hipstones then relocated to Brooklyn, New York, before releasing their second album Dreamers (2009). Their third album, Wise Man (2014), was crowd-funded. Palmer has also been a member of the band Wheatus, known for the single "Teenage Dirtbag" (2000), featured in the movie Loser.
