A band was formed within 1992 by singer/guitarist/keyboardist Jason Lytle, bassist Kevin Garcia, and drummer Aaron Burtch. Around 1995, guitarist Jim Fairchild & keyboardist Tim Dryden joined a band.

Musically, a band features each guitars in the indie rock style, and keyboards remindful of Philip Glass's minimalist style. A band's healthy is space rock and lyrics generally focus on isolation around the high-hi-tech globe, albeit by having the rural American spin. A band's lyrics & image can arguably put the children firmly in the category of geek rock.
