Formed in 1998 as a five piece, the original line-up included Mark Cossom (guitar) and Rob Agostini (vocals).

Their departure caused the style of the music to become focused on longer songs with fewer sections, which gradually built up from quiet beginnings into overpowering crescendos and back down again.

The band (now a three piece) released their debut album What's a World Without Laughter in September 1999 on the Toronto based Aporia Records label.

More performances followed, including a slot on RTRFM's annual fundraiser 'In the Pines' during which the band was noted for their use of a whipper snipper as an instrument[2] and cooking pancakes onstage for the crowd during their set.

After another period of inactivity, late in 2012 the band played a series of live performances and recorded a new album One Thousand Birds which was released in October 2013.
