So, what is this band’s origin story?

"Luke and I grew up together in Rhode Island. We played in a few bands together during high school and found that we really resonated creatively. We were both headed up to the Boston area during college, so we decided to keep playing, and eventually started writing new material again with a rotating cast of friends from our respective schools. Eventually, the lineup stabilized and we called ourselves The Rare Occasions for our first show at Tufts University. We played more and more shows and recorded demos as a band and realized that we had something special with our bassist Jeremy and our old guitarist Peter, so we just continued to make new things and improve incrementally along the way."
