The group performed two concerts at the Academy of Music In New York City in April 1996 and disbanded shortly thereafter.[3][4][5] The concerts, like the group's sole album, consisted of completely improvised music.[6][7]

Around the time of the group's formation, Anastasio mentioned in interviews that he based the ensemble around Sun Ra's free jazz ensembles of the mid-twentieth century. "A lot of times, I think he was the pinnacle," said Anastasio. "He was as good as it got. His values remained pure for his entire life, and there's something to be said for that."[8]
