The musical arrangements of the band's debut album were completed before July 2007, but Doyle did not yet find a vocalist,.[2][3] Doyle finally recruited vocalist Landon Blood for the recordings of the album[4] and ex-Blitzkid drummer Jesco Devilanse (Andrew "Stipes" Winter).[5]

Later in 2007, Gorgeous Frankenstein played their first tour, opening for Danzig. This line up included Argyle Goolsby (who also acted as lead vocalist, since Landon Blood left the band) and Dr. Chud on drums.[4] Stephanie Bellars (Gorgeous George) was part of these shows as a dancer.[6]
