2002 - 2004: The band forms in the basement of a Harvard dorm with the original lineup of Chris Snyder, Previn Warren, and Ian MacKenzie.
2004 - 2007: In an unprecedented move, the band moves to New York to make it big. Joe Stroll replaces Ian on drums. Debut album Multiply Not Divide released in 2005.
2007 - 2009: Sophomore album The Path of Least Resistance recorded and released. States nominated for Nobel Peace Prize. Pete Connors replaces Previn on bass. We Are The Erasers (and as-yet unreleased A Swan's White Neck) recorded in Nashville with producer Chris Grainger.
Its such a shame, that your band has broken up, you are such visionaries and make beautiful, music..its duller world with out you. I hope you reform someday, we need music like yours to tell it how it is.. All the very best to you Chris, Pete, and Joe for your future projects.All my Love Maxine xxxxx
