 A HISTORY  are an English glitter doom band formed in London in 2011. The group is composed of vocalist Aquila Rose, multi instrumentalist Graham Alderton and drummer Bel Conde.

History
 Formation 

Graham Alderton meet Aquila Rose while Aquila was still in the all-girl alternative choir  Gaggle  at a warehouse party in North London and bonded over the music of Tom Waits and the love of big drums. Originally know as "Tina, In The Green Dress" the concept of the band originated from finding a suitcase of letters and diaries in a market in Coney Island. These letters span a journey of a young woman from Mississippi to New York in correspondence with her fiancé who had been posted to Vietnam.

After Rose left  Gaggle  the pair played their early shows with only a handfull of songs. With more songs written they managed to secure further shows in London and Liverpool where the band where described as  "mixing sounds, textures and Jacques Brel meets Goldfrapp imagery to great effect" 

Wanting to expand their live sound they added Bel Conde on drums. The band has since collaborated with theatre company Twisted Hip to create a multi-sensory experience at The Roundhouse.

Musical Style
Tom Robinson's "Fresh On The Net" describes the bands sound as "a bit Siouxsie at times dropped into a bed of first album The xx".

Radio
The Single "FOX" has been played on BBC Radio 6 Music program "The BBC Introducing Mix Tape" and NTS Radio
