Round Trip Mars is the home of Phase 5, SJD, Phelps & Munro, James Duncan, Jefferson Belt, The Naked And Famous, Unitone HiFi and the Sideways series. Formed in 1999, in Auckland, New Zealand by Angus McNaughton and Stinky Jim (Jim Pinckney) to fling out their Phase 5 material, it has subsequently grown into a slow-moving, miraculous, many-headed musical monster.
