History
The group was formed while the original members were freshmen at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY. At the time of its formation, the band consisted of four cellists. The band gave their first formal concert in a small classical venue at Eastman, where they received complaints for being too loud.
The band soon began performing at local coffee shops and clubs in Rochester, such as Javas Coffee, Spot Coffee, and The Bug Jar.
In 2006, the band released "The Sound Between", a double disc album featuring both electric and acoustic songs. After all graduating from Eastman, the group collectively moved to NYC in 2007. The band split a year later, leaving Laird and Trevino as the remaining members.
In 2008, Laird and Trevino began composing and recording music together, much of which is featured on the band's latest album entitled "Spectrum of the Sky", which was released in May 2009.
Laird and Trevino have been joined by Philip Borter, an Eastman School of Music alum, and Martin Torch-Ishii, a doctoral student at The University of Michigan. Borter was later replaced by Laura Metcalf.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The basic idea which runs right through modern history and modern liberalism is that the public has got to be marginalized. The general public are viewed as no more than ignorant and meddlesome outsiders, a bewildered herd.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“The history of his present majesty, is a history of unremitting injuries and usurpations ... all of which have in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world, for the truth of which we pledge a faith yet unsullied by falsehood.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“A poet’s object is not to tell what actually happened but what could or would happen either probably or inevitably.... For this reason poetry is something more scientific and serious than history, because poetry tends to give general truths while history gives particular facts.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
