In 1913, Cai E was transferred to the capital under an order from the president of the Republic of China Yuan Shikai. The President entrusted him with an important position to win over his support, and he was also enchanted with the president. Also, he hoped to fulfill his dream of making the country and army stronger with his own efforts. However, Yuan Shikai, who had conceived an idea of being enthroned, distrusted him, and therefore sent for his family members in an attempt to keep him under control. Ostensibly Yuan showed concern for him, but in fact his family members were already held hostage. Cai pretended to be dissipated and shiftless all day long to relax Yuan Shikai's vigilance, but Yuan Keding, the eldest son of Yuan Shikai, who was ambitious to be crown prince, became suspicious of Cai E and ordered a raid on his house.

The band, formed by Chrissy Costanza, Dan Gow and Will Ferri in 2011 in Poughkeepsie, NY, unveiled their first song, "Thinking," in mid-2012 and self-released two Eps in the years that followed. Their 2015 release Gravity, sent the band on a world tour, playing venues across the US, Europe and Asia and selling out shows everywhere from Tokyo to Amsterdam to Paris. The album 'In Our Bones' as a whole encompasses a range of feelings and experiences, as well as stylistic tones. "Young & Relentless" is buoyant and propulsive, a bounding pop rock track with an immediate chorus, while anthemic pop number "Forget Me Now" is what Will calls "a look into the past, present and future of our lives." Lyrically, Chrissy took inspiration from other music and books she was reading, and drew a lot from her own experiences.
