History

Céleste, Iris, and Sachiko were childhood friends, and formed the band while attending secondary school. They named themselves after a Primus song from Tales from the Punchbowl.

Their early material was predominantly funk metal and progressive rock-inspired. Later material displays more influence from post-rock.
