History
The band was formed in 2006 when the band members were very young and all in grade school. Specifically Ryan and Andrew were in 3rd grade and Daniel was in 2nd grade. The boys’ musical ambitions were launched when the Cielak’s father introduced Andrew and Daniel to the heavy metal band Black Sabbath while the boys were still in 2nd grade. They played in their garage and basement and began to build a following through talent shows and several smaller gigs. 2010 and 2011 were their breakout years when they competed in nine Battle of Bands throughout Illinois and won nearly every one of them with strong original songs, musicianship, and high energy stage performances. Their first gig back in their hometown was winning the Battle of the Bands at the Grove Avenue Carnival. In late 2011 they issued their first EP on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, etc. They were featured on a READ poster by the American Library Association and join a list of celebrities like Bill Gates, Bill Cosby, Ice Cube, and Yao Ming in that program. They also participated in a benefit for the Joplin MO tornado disaster called “Jammin’ for Joplin.” They are beginning a California tour in March 2012 at Whisky a Go Go.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“If you look at history you’ll find that no state has been so plagued by its rulers as when power has fallen into the hands of some dabbler in philosophy or literary addict.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
“If man is reduced to being nothing but a character in history, he has no other choice but to subside into the sound and fury of a completely irrational history or to endow history with the form of human reason.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“When the coherence of the parts of a stone, or even that composition of parts which renders it extended; when these familiar objects, I say, are so inexplicable, and contain circumstances so repugnant and contradictory; with what assurance can we decide concerning the origin of worlds, or trace their history from eternity to eternity?”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
