Alighting are brothers Chris and Richard Boland, who founded the band back in 2000. Along with Marcus and Anna the band have brought their infectious Neil Young tainted indie tracks to an extensive list of venues in the local area.

2002 saw them co-arrange and perform at the Relief Night at the legendary Boatrace in Cambridge, raising money for MacMillan Cancer Relief, coinciding with the release of "Skyline Songs", featuring original tracks from their musical friends.
