with Quan Yeomans (guitar and vocals), Ben Ely (bass and vocals) and Martin Lee (drums). The three had purportedly met on a bus in inner Brisbane. At this time, all three were already in several bands - Pangaea, Zooerastia, Precision Oiler, Brazilia among others. Regurgitator at this time were not considered to be the main focus of any members, rather as a side-project to their other bands. The band released its debut self-titled EP in October 1994. With the emergence of Brisbane's underground music scene in the early 1990s, major labels, such as

, a popular and established band in Brisbane's underground that Ben Ely fronted. It wasn't until Parisi was supplied with Pangaea recordings by their manager Paul Curtis that he discovered Regurgitator, whose material was also presented as part of a potential Valve label P&D deal. Ironically, Parisi would push for the less-established band to be signed because "it was the hook that Pangaea, for all the excitement thad generated on stage, had lacked." The band signed with Warner early in 1995, who re-released its debut EP in February 1995, which charted at number 45 on the ARIA singles chart. Regurgitator quickly released another EP, titled ''

The band recorded their second studio album in a warehouse in Brisbane which they affectionately named "The Dirty Room". In contrast with their rock-oriented works of the past, the band moved on with a more electronic and pop based sound. The band openly acknowledged their stylistic change with the album's opening track, ironically titled "I Like Your Old Stuff Better Than Your New Stuff". The band released "

Having rebuilt "The Dirty Room" studio with the assumption it would be used for the recording, Lee felt undervalued when Yeomans made it clear he needed a change in working environment. Ely admitted that tension had always existed between the two. Since the ''Unit'' sessions he had felt excluded from the creative process as his material would rarely be used and he was often replaced by a drum machine in the studio. After an extended absence during the album recording and a string of absences on the supporting tour schedule it was announced in late 1999 that Lee would be leaving the group due to 'creative differences'.

At this time, a turbulent relationship commenced with the Warner label who were unable to grasp the band's lack of motivation and refusal to compromise for the sake of commercial success. After the fourth album, discussions led to a mutual request to end the deal, and the compilation album ''

2011–2013: ''Super Happy Fun Times Friends'' and ''Dirty Pop Fantasy''

In July 2011, the band released "One Day", the lead single from their seventh studio album '' Super Happy Fun Times Friends'' in August 2011. The album debuted on the AIR chart at No. 18 and the ARIA chart at No. 91. In June 2012, it was announced that Regurgitator would be playing their first two albums, ''Tu Plang'' and ''Unit'', in their entirety in an Australian tour named ''RetroTech''. In early 2013, the band announced that they were working on their eighth studio album in Hong Kong. Entitled ''Dirty Pop Fantasy'', the album was released on 6 September 2013 through Valve Records. The album was streamed online on 23 August 2013 on the Deezer website. During the band's keynote address at the Big Sound music conference in early September 2013, the band explained that the lower level of productivity during the latter part of their career is due to the geographical spread of the two primary band members, Ely and Yeomans—Ely is based in Melbourne, Australia, while Yeomans resides in Hong Kong. A post on the band's Facebook page on 18 September 2013 then revealed that Regurgitator will enter a period of indefinite hiatus following a national Australian and Asian tour that ended in December 2013 due to the birth of Yeomans's first child. Their last show for the foreseeable future was in Beijing on 7 December 2013 as part of the Converse Rubber Tracks event with touring friends Chinese band New Pants.
