After the dissolution of The Long Ryders, Sid Griffin (who is also a music journalist and author of Gram Parsons: A Music Biography)formed The Coal Porters in Los Angeles with Long Ryders drummer Greg Sowders and English bassist Ian Thomson. The group, which would soon relocate to England, debuted with Rebels Without Applause (originally an Australian 12" EP), following that in 1994 with the band's first LP, Land Of Hope And Crosby. The effort featured such guests as ex-Green On Red organist Chris Cacavas and ex-Rockpile member Billy Bremner. Griffin continued to use a revolving cast of musicians on the follow-up, Los London.
