Dirty Vegas began in 2001 as a trio of British house musicians Ben Harris , Paul Harris (no relation) and Steve Smith. They represent the epitome of a “one-hit wonder” (at least in the US) when Mitsubishi used their haunting “Days Go By” track in a widely released television commercial.

The group broke up in 2005 but Paul Harris and Steve Smith reformed in 2008 to work on new material under the original band name.
