 The lineup would remain intact for four years.The band's name is based on the character Tuco Ramirez, played by actor Eli Wallach in "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly" and was an alternative to a suggestion by original bassist Jason Bowes, who proposed The Mortimers, after the Lee Van Cleef character when the band found that a punk band from Poland had already claimed it.In 2011, the band released their first single "Night On The Town b/w Ain't My House Anymore" on the Toronto, Ontario-based record label Magwheel Records and started playing regional shows across the upper-Midwestern United States.
