The Mabels began in 1996 as a folkie trio from Lismore, New South Wales, before relocating to the tight-knit indie scene surrounding Melbourne's Candle Records. Original members Anthony Atkinson (vocals/guitar), Kim Parker (bass/piano accordion/vocals) and Warwick Lobb (guitar/trumpet/vocals), experimented with a couple of drummers before meeting David Kneale late in 1996. Five months later the band released a six-track EP entitled Caravan Park Girlfriend, produced by Mick Thomas from Weddings Parties Anything and recorded in the heat of the Australia Day long weekend, January 1997.
