They have performed nationally at many well known venues and concerts including McCarren Park Pool, True/False Film Festival, Looptopia, Lollapalooza, Rothbury Music Festival, Tour de Fat, and were featured on Late Night with Conan O'Brien in 2006. Their debut album, A Little Marching Band , was released in 2006 and is distributed by Southern Records. Their second full-length album, Plays Well Together , was released in June 2008.
