Strachan and Weinkauf formed Feuermusik in 2004. The band's debut album, ''Goodbye Lucille'', was released independently in 2006. It received substantial play on community and campus radio stations. The song "Doppelspiel" was later named as a shortlisted nominee for the 2007 Echo Songwriting Prize. Their second album, ''No Contest'', followed in 2008. They continued to perform in the Toronto area, sometimes with additional musicians. In 2009 the pair performed at Sappyfest in Sackville, and in 2010 they performed at the Halifax Pop Explosion festival."Feuermusik Coconut Grove, Halifax NS October 23"
