Evoking the sounds of their compiled backgrounds you will hear undertones of 60's 70’s and 80’s progressive, pop, new wave, and last but definitely not least rock.
Their self-titled debut album is due out in 2010. Their music has appeared in one feature length film (Bloodwine) and one short film (The Perfect Partner). The dance remix of “Pleased to Meet You” can also be heard in rotation in clubs throughout the US i.e. Panopticon in Dallas, TX and Club Orpheus in Baltimore, Md.
"Yeah we're "That Band" Notoriously insane, definitely Different but we'll make you shake your rear-end a little, think a little and definitely feel a little. The Proof is in the music we put out into this place we call "The World" ...Our goal? Well its to come to every town we can to be your musical slaves..... And maybe just maybe you'll buy a t-shirt to help hurtle us in the direction of yet another town."
