The band was formed in 1999 by John Garrison (vocals, guitar), Adrian Kelley (bass), Mark Walworth (guitar), Paul Possart (drums) and Chris Pemberton (piano, keyboards). After recording the material for their first album, Too Blind to Hear, Walworth commited suicide. Although shocked by this event, the remaining members of the band (Walworth being replaced by lead guitar Matt Parker later on) carried on with the release of the album, in tribute to his deceased partner. It appeared in September 2002 in UK, and was released in America in March 2004.
When performing live, they usually carry a sixth member: a double bass that plays the string arrangements.
Budapest (pronounced ['budɒˌpɛʃt]) is the capital city of Hungary and the country's principal political, industrial, commercial and transportation centre.
Budapest became a single city occupying both banks of the river Danube with the amalgamation in 1873 of right-bank Buda (Ofen in German) and Óbuda (Old Buda or Alt-Ofen) together with Pest on the left (east) bank.
Budapest's recorded history begins with the Roman town of Aquincum, founded around 89 AD on the site of an earlier Celtic settlement near what was to become Óbuda, and from 106 until the end of the 4th century the capital of the province of lower Pannonia.
