[edit] Biography
Justin Maranga, Nick Long and Brandon Pierce began a three-piece project in the summer of 2006, then shortly after added Englishman Chico Foley, who had met Brandon shortly after taking up what was at the time a temporary residence in Los Angeles. The band then finally found its final member: J Christopher Watkins. They released an international debut in April 2008 on North Atlantic Sound: a new boutique label founded by Tony Presedo (Tee Pee Records) and Dave Sweetapple (Witch). Artwork for the record was produced by Ancestors and Arik Roper: a psychedelic and fantasy artist who has worked with such bands as Sleep and Earth.
