Formed in 2011, the band consists of three members performing under the pseudonyms "Martinus Bass" (vocals), "Domenicus Bass" (synthesizer and electronic harpsichord), and "Davidus Bass" (percussion and samples).[2] They released their first EP, Cantata per una macchina, Opus 1, in 2012, followed by Voodoo in 2014. The same year, they released their first full-length album, Sugar Suite, on Vienna Wildstyle Recordings.[3]
