Neuseiland was formed in 1998 out of the remains of many other Halifax, Nova Scotia bands (including The Super Friendz, Coyote, the Euphonic, and Thrush Hermit). The name of the band is derived from a Dutch children's book by Annie Schmidt called The Island of Nose. The original aim of the band was to combine conventional song structure with experimentation inspired by krautroche, stoogian protoplasm and the subtractive mixing techniques of "version" reggae.
