independent rock band fromNorth Dakota . Its founding members, Charles Gokey and Marie J. Parker, met at a band camp in July2001 , while inhigh school . Although the two lived 500 km apart, inFargo, North Dakota andWilliston, North Dakota , respectively, the two started what they term a "music project" by the name of Marie and the Flying Nuns. They exchanged tapes by mail and worked on music using four-track recorders for a period. In January2003 , the duo changed its name to They, Monotone, and began to forge a tie to the bandIn Ink Please . In November the group went through another name change, to The Algorithmic Convulsions, and in February2004 , In Ink Please invited the group, now renamed The Foliage, to share their first split CD onFall Records . In July2005 the band released a mini-LP, "Zurich" on Fall Records under the moniker The White Foliage. The group also added a third member, Alex Abnos, during a tour of the Midwest in mid-2005 .In 2008, after an extended hiatus, the band released the Bright Teeth EP, marking a shift toward a poppy-er, more electronic sound.
