In 1992 the band released the "Bloom"/Cope" 7 “ inch single on their own Summerville records. The single garnered rave reviews on both sides of the Atlantic and heavy Boston area airplay, which lead to a record deal with Fire Records in the UK. Flippin' Out made with producers Mike Deneen and Adam Lasus was released in the U.K in the Fall on 1993. An e.p Full on Bloom was released in the U.S. at the same time, and the band supporting Suede and the Cranberries on their first major U.S. tour and a tour of Japan. The band toured Europe in support of Flipping Out extensively in Europe opening for the Wonderstuff.

After signing to RCA Records in the US early in 1994. the band released the slightly altered American version of Flipping Out and spent the year supporting the record in Europe and America. Their biggest commercial success was the single "Where I Find My Heaven", which featured in the soundtrack to the motion picture Dumb and Dumber and as the opening music to the British sitcom Game On. The single release of “Heaven” broke the top 20 in the U.K early in 1995. The band also composed the song "Little Wild One" for the movie That Thing You Do. In the winter of 1995, drummer Paul Brouwer left and was replaced by Fred Eltringham, then of the Boston band Jack Drag. In the fall of 1995, the band entered the studio with producer Fred Maher to record the follow-up to Flipping Out, tentative titled Ultraphonic. The subsequent recordings were never released and soon after Phil Hurley left the band and was replaced by 6L6 guitarist Jon Skibic.

In 1996 after getting released from their RCA deal, the band began the long process of ending their relationship with Fire Records. In the meantime they released an e.p Learn to Play Guitar on the indie Wicked Disc label, which allowed them to tour extensively support the Wallflower and the Counting Crows. After settling their contract status in 1998, the band signed a new deal with E Pluribus Unum Records, a subsidiary of Universal Records owned and led by Counting Crow’s singer Adam Duritz. The band entered the studio once again with producer Mike Dennen and produced the haunting Minor Chords and Major Themes, which featured the minor hit, “Everyone Can Fly.” Minor Chords was a hit in Spain and led to the band’s long-standing popularity in that country and appearance at the Benicassim Festival in 1999. In 2000, primary songwriters Gibbs and Hurley relocated to Los Angeles to pursue songwriting for film and TV. After writing for Josie and the Pussycats and a number of TV shows, Gibbs and Hurley recorded one final Gigolo Aunts album Pacific Ocean Blues (produced by Chris Horvath) accompanied by Skibic and Eltringham on most tracks and by Mark Rivers and Phil Hurley on others. The album was released in Spain on Love to Art Records and in the U.S on Q Division Records.
