sink \ sink emerged from Hamilton band Laughter in the Mainsail, whose first line up comprised of Jamie Dryden (vocals) and Alan Deare (bass), Gareth Schott on guitar and Greg Thomas on drums.

Prior to sink \ sink, Schott played guitar live with Auckland-based singer songwriter Charlotte Johansen, together with Jon Postlethwaite and Mark McGeady of Hamilton band The Postlethwaites. Schott, Jon Postlethwaite, Mark McGeady, together with Jessica Boyd, also very briefly comprised Adam Killer, a ska/punk band.
Schott put sink \ sink on indefinite hiatus when Ancient Tapes began in March 2014. The band released an EP in Feb 2015 (Hummingbird EP)[2]. Ancient Tapes ran until May 2015. During their time they played gigs with Hamilton bands, Conway, The Goth and The Pixie, The Hollow Grinders and the New Millennium Beatnicks, in addition to Auckland’s Invisible Threads, Carb on Carb, I.E. Crazy and Palmerston North’s Man In Rug. The band ended when singer Sam Brockelsby left NZ for Germany.
