Biography

The band was formed after Damon Che's previous band Don Caballero went on hiatus. To start a new outfit he called upon the Italian guitarist Agostino Tilotta. They were joined by Tilotta's wife Giovanna Cacciola (vocals) while Che brought in Matthew Taylor on bass.[2] The four-piece got together with Steve Albini who produced their debut album Snowing Sun, released in 2002.[3] During the subsequent North American tour drummer Che left and was replaced by Alexis Fleisig.[4] In 2005 the band released the album Small Stones,[5] followed by The Precious Prize of Gravity in 2009.[6] Both recorded with the assistance of Steve Albini. A new record is planned for sometime in 2015.[7]

Official releases

gollark: I bet they used the same password for everything and it got leaked somewhere.
gollark: How do you hack a *phone number*? Do you mean their phone network provider or something?
gollark: You are unlikely to encounter any illegal numbers by accident if they're bigger than 64 bits or so, apparently.
gollark: Yes, it's an interesting weird consequence of laws.
