Lemur.
They won fans through showcasing their chosen technology during solo performances, and after gaining attention in Los Angeles and San Francisco, the group eventually toured more widely along the West Coast and then to various festivals worldwide.
After citing "creative differences," founding member Kraddy left the group in 2009.
The Glitch Mob's first album ''
Drink the Sea'' peaked at number 57 on the
CMJ Top 200 Chart for College Radio. The album's debut led
Electronic Musician to run a cover story on the trio.
Their single "Drive It Like You Stole It" was number 2 on
XLR8R's Top Downloads of 2010 list. Their single "Warrior Concerto" was used in the official trailer for ''
The Crew'', and was written specifically for the FIAT 500 campaign to launch in the US''.'' The sophomore Glitch Mob album ''
