Prog rock band founded in Austin, USA in 2000.
The origin of this group is with two coworkers, who shared an interest in progressive music. Ted Thomas and Patrick McFarland originally became friends in 1998 at an Austin Texas computer Company. They shared a love of progressive music, but it would take some more time before any ideas of a band surfaced. The next year Ted met Mick Peters at (of all places) a ProjecKt Three concert. Mick revealed that he was learning to play the stick. In 2000 Ted finally got a drum set, and contacted Mick. Patrick joined on keyboards, and they began jamming as a trio. Still, they needed a guitarist. In 2001 Joe Funk's band Two Sheds (with whom they had a friendly relationship) broke up. They were more than happy to bring him into the group.
2002 was an eventful year. They picked the name, and recorded a demo. They received an invitation to play the "Cattleprog" festival, but Patrick had decided to pursue other musical avenues (namely Copperdown). After placing an ad, they found keyboardist Thad Miller.
