Collin Ruffino, a blossoming mod of the 80’s and David Gross, son of 2 classical musicians, and a classical pianist in training; joined as allies in high school art class as they spent time creating their versions of the instructors childhood. Instructor was said to have grown up in a Louisiana chateau and had servants peel the grapes in which he ate. This heightened the imagination of the two. They started "drawing still lives of twisted vegetables and rendering the chiaroscuro of adolescent self portraits."
Being protected from mainstream music David was not aware of the potential it had to be as emotional as classical music. Collin, in a band called The Great and Secret Show introduced him to albums such as Mezzanine, Dummy and OK Computer; which in turn led to David playing the keyboards in their newly formed band, Home Video.
