Vocalist Melati Olivia met bassist/songwriter Cameron Hays when they both quit the same previous band. Guitarist Mike M. was immediately recruited and the band went through a series of bowed string players and drummers before happily finding violinist Gracie Stean, cellist Allison Allain, and drummer Chris Ortega. They look forward to playing together until Allison (who has a masters in artificial intelligence) inadvertently creates SkyNet and accidentally leads to the extermination of the human race.
