The band recorded their first album, live at rime, using a minidisc player and two microphones. Their critically acclaimed sophomore album, Day In (Cellar Live), followed in July 2006.

Read "Look's Like It's Going To Snow" reviewed by Jerry D'Souza

The October Trio: Looks Like It's Going To Snow

Read "Looks Like It's Going To Snow" reviewed by Matt Marshall
