Novillero formed in 1999 out of the ashes of Winnipeg lounge pop darlings Transonic, picking up Rod Slaughter (Duotang), Dave Berthiaume (Bulletproof Nothing), and Rusty Matyas (The Waking Eyes) along the way. The Waking Eyes is a rock band from Winnipeg and Steinbach, Manitoba. [3] This lineup released The Brindleford Follies on Endearing Records, toured moderately in support of its release, and then ground to a halt early in 2002. The Brindleford Follies is the first album from Canadian Indie rock group Novillero. Endearing Records is a Canadian indie pop Record label, now based in Vancouver, though originally based in Winnipeg.
After nearly a year apart, Slaughter, Stevens, Berthiaume and Matyas reunited to play a one-off show with new songs. The music then was heading in a new direction, relying less on spacey psychedelia and more on keyboard-driven pop hooks while retaining enough of their mod influence to bridge the gap. They added Grant Johnson when Matyas scaled back his input to focus on The Waking Eyes (who had just signed a record deal with Arnold Lanni's new label Coalition Records). Jack Jonasson, formerly of the Paperbacks, began playing live shows as a vocalist and instrumentalist formally in 2007.
The Globe and Mail's music critic hailed the band's 2005 show at the Winnipeg Folk Festival as one of the best Canadian rock concerts of the year. The Globe and Mail is a Canadian English language nationally distributed Newspaper, based in Toronto and printed in six cities [4][5]

Aim Right for the Holes in Their Lives is the second album from Canadian Indie rock group Novillero.
According to an update from the band on their facebook their next album will not be entitled "Left Hook" as was erroneously reported by the CBC.

Tracks include Plastic Flag, Shadow Box, Lost Possibilities, and Life in Parenthesis; of which Lost Possibilities and Plastic Flag can be found on their MySpace.
