founding
The violin player Ishibashi and the enthusiastic woodwind instrument player Colwell met on a tour in the United States in 2000.

Shortly thereafter, Ishibashi sought contact with his former love affair, Mocha, accepted them into the band and finally even married the Japanese. David Heilmann joined as drummer.
