Van She released their self-titled, debut EP. It included the single "Sex City". After touring with Yeah Yeah Yeahs, New Young Pony Club and playing shows with the likes of Daft Punk, Phoenix and Bloc Party, Van She released their debut studio album, V in 2008, which debuted at number 10 on the ARIA Charts. Their label introduced them as a "new band from Sydney fresh on ideas, fresher than Flavor Flav, fresh like coriander, fresher than the Fresh Prince, fresher than fresh eggs." Also in 2008, their remix (as Van She Tech) of "Something Good" by Utah Saints would become BBC Radio 1’s most played track of the year and in the 2020s would be voted the ultimate Ministry of Sound released track.
