Marie and Charlie met at the International Music Camp in July 2001. A few months later, they decided to start a music project they termed "Marie and the Flying Nuns." Since the two lived in opposite corners of North Dakota, they decided to collaborate using four-track recorders and sending tapes through the mail.

In 2004, after changing their name to The Foliage, they released a split CD with fellow long-distance North Dakota band In Ink Please. The split, entitled "How to Make Better Love," was released by then-Michigan-based Fall Records.

A year later, after a final name change to The White Foliage, they released an EP called "Zurich." In July, they embarked on a month-long tour of the midwest with their friends Ryan Donegan and Alex Abnos (a.k.a. Tut Tut. Alex also became the newest member of the White Foliage during this tour.)

The band took sort of an unintended hiatus, with little activity for the next three years. In 2008, they released a three-song iTunes-only EP called "Bright Teeth." br>
The band has been doing a little bit of recording since then; expect something new in the near future!
