. At the time of its formation, the band consisted of four cellists. The band gave their first formal concert in a small classical venue at Eastman, where they received complaints for being too loud. In 2006, the band released "The Sound Between", a double disc album featuring both electric and acoustic songs. After all graduating from Eastman, the group collectively moved to NYC in 2007, where they developed a fan base through busking in Central Park. The band split a year later, leaving Laird and Trevino as the remaining members. In 2008, Laird and Trevino began composing and recording music together, much of which is featured on "Spectrum of the Sky", released in May 2009. Soon after, Laird and Trevino were joined by cellists Philip Borter and Martin Torch-Ishii and began touring again. Borter was later replaced by Laura Metcalf. The band has gained a following through Pandora Radio, where their music has 44,000 daily streams. In 2013, the band's cover of the "Game of Thrones" TV show theme song appeared on

and was called "the best rendition of the theme song you will ever hear". In 2014 member Patrick Laird formed the cello and piano group Brooklyn Duo with his wife Marnie Laird.
