Vocalist and founder Lief Liebmann and Bassist Collin Boyle began a dubious kinship, starting out as members of opposing groups. After becoming friends and eventually bandmates, they began practicing together starting as early as eighth grade. Drummer Christopher LoPorto was discovered through the New Jersey music scene, and the trio came together in 2006 as Blind and Driving, before changing their name to A Love Like Pi.
After performing at the Bamboozle 2008 Festival and touring along the east coast and South by Southwest music conference, Thriving Records took them on and they began recording their first studio album, a self-titled demo EP. It was released on February 17, 2009. Their first full-length album, The Atlas and the Oyster, was released on March 24, 2009, and received overall positive reviews. BringOnMixedReviews.com says of the Atlas and the Oyster, "Pi (theoretically) goes on forever, and despite only a few quirky things I can nitpick about, so does my praise of this record."[1]
A Love Like Pi toured the US with Years Gone By and Learning Takes a Lifetime, including participating in the Where the Wild Things Are Tour, and have announced plans to tour with Floral Terrace, Asteria, Gabriel the Marine, and Theatre Breaks Loose among others.
