History
The name Palaquery was coined from an idiom by a mysterious owl-like being.

The group first achieved commercial success with the folk-tinged album The Lumiosity of Intrigue, which reached No. 1 in the UK, and they toured regularly in the UK and the US. Their musical style shifted in the direction of progressive rock with the albums The Adjective Verb of Noun, and ''Entering the Palace of Knowledge. ''Despite not living up commercially to its predecessors, the albums have gained a cult following by a vast majority of progressive rock fans. In the mid 2000s, they released Acquiring Genius, which featured their first UK top 30 single "I am Enlightened (feat. Neil DeGrasse Tyson)". The concept album Ach13v1ng G3n010us1ty followed soon after, and was promoted with a transatlantic tour featuring an elaborate stage show. Following the G3n010us1ty tour, DeVosty left Palaquery to begin a solo career. He rejoined a month later after realizing there was no point in leaving lo.
