The project has spread throughout the United States, but resides in Seattle, Washington when not on tour. They now have over 50 members in the lower 48 states and have produced seven albums. They are on six record labels: Plan-It-X Records, MASA, KELP!, Don't Stop Believin', Do It for the Girls Productions, and Whprwhil Records.
