The band performed at Fearless Music in early 2007. Perez Hilton says the band's biggest single, "Obsessed with You", is a "double yum ... indie pop gem".[1]

Their 2008 EP release, Heartbreaker, was produced by Maroon 5 producer Jon Kaplan.[2][3]

NYC Girl, a five-track EP containing the tracks "Vampire"[4] and "NYC Girl", was released on April 19, 2011.[5] USA Today describes the string-infused disco-pop title track as reminiscent of 1970s-era Electric Light Orchestra.[6]

After the production of their single "Rich Man's Holiday" in 2014, the band split. Beginning in 2016, lead singer Orion Simprini began to produce his own original music, uploaded to the band's YouTube channel as well as to Spotify and iTunes under the name Orion. Though recently, due to a rise in popularity they have reformed.
