Define your genre in five words or less:

A Funky Jiggity Smut

Do you have any record releases to date? What are they? Where can I get them?

We have just released our new single via Triple J Unearthed which is free to download, and our EP should be coming out around December/January

Why should everyone come and see your band?

We play with a lot of energy and have a huge sound with out using effects or any modern day crap, its all raw and in your face Funk Rock.     

When are you playing live/releasing your album/EP/single/etc? 

Were playing live on the 20th of September at The Toff in Town to launch our first single of the EP Big Bird, with supports from Better Than The Wizards and Rosencrants.

What’s the strangest place you’ve ever played a gig, or made a recording?
We went on a tour in China at the end of last year which was pretty weird and we played some crazy gigs in some bowls of rice, Also when we recently recorded the Big Bird single Max the sax player recorded the whole song naked.

Do you have a pre-gig ritual? If so, what is it?
Our pre gig ritual is to all sit in a dark room together and just enjoy the boat with a little man.

Why should everyone come and see your band?
Fuck, every one should come see our band just to have a real good time and enjoy some groovy music with out getting bored or falling asleep; we have a raw old school funk element but still keep it fresh and exciting. 

How long have you been gigging and writing? 
We all knew each other in high school and even in primary school, the band was a progression in song writing and gigging since 2007 but it wasn’t really till we got out of high school when it all started to really come together song writing and gigging.
