Beach House. Beach House. History[edit] Formation and Beach House[edit] Vocalist and organist Victoria Legrand, who graduated from Vassar College in 2003, and guitarist Alex Scally formed the band in 2004 after meeting in Baltimore's indie rock scene, producing music composed largely of organ, programmed drums, and slide guitar.[2] Of the origins of the band name, Scally said: "We’d been writing music, and we had all these songs, and then there was that moment where you say ‘what do we call ourselves?’
We tried to intellectualize it, and it didn’t work. There were different plant-names, Wisteria, that kind of thing. Stupid stuff. Beach House.
