The Mars Volta formed in 2001 in El Paso, Texas after the break-up of At The Drive-in. They won a Grammy Award in 2009 for Best hard Rock Performance for their song 'Wax Simulacra'.
In September, 2012 The Mars Volta announced their hiatus but as of today that has been upgraded to a fully-fledged break-up.
