===2008–2011: ''Good in the Face of a Stranger'' and the Mad Bastards Trio===
In November 2008, Lloyd released his fifth studio album ''[[Good in the Face of a Stranger]]'' through Inertia. The album peaked at number 80 on the ARIA Chart. The album spawned two singles, the first, "Slow Train" featured a video clip made with 7,000 hand-drawn pictures. The album's second single, "What We Started", was released in March 2009 and subsequently used as song on the television show ''[[90210 (TV series)|90210]]''.

In 2011, Lloyd began touring with Steve and Alan Pigram from [[the Pigram Brothers]]. The trio had worked on the soundtrack for the Australian film ''[[Mad Bastards]]'', and subsequently became known as the Mad Bastards Trio, using the tour to promote the film, which was released on 5 May 2011. The tour ended later that month. The Mad Bastards Trio also performed on [[Adam Hills Tonight|''Adam Hills in Gordon Street Tonight'']] and also had an interview with [[George Negus]] about the music and the film itself. One of Lloyd's songs from ''[[Good in the Face of a Stranger]]'', "Slow Train" made it onto the soundtrack, along with songs written by the Pigram Brothers, but the majority of the soundtrack was written as a collaboration between the trio. At the [[APRA Music Awards of 2011]] the trio received three nominations. At the [[ARIA Music Awards of 2011]], the album was nominated for Best Original Soundtrack/Cast/Show Album.
