Artist description Mostly it's a very percussive unique original music, let's say a mixture of techno, tribal and industrial. It's not easy to find a brief description, what these three guys are doing. Best let's speak Dan, the central player of the band: "I like to think of the group as a tribe. We have our own language-we have our own culture. Our music is a part of our culture ... My point is that everyone should be able to give themselves permission to be creative; without fear. Our mission as a group is to nurture this behavoir in anyone who hears or sees us. We try to celebrate what makes us individuals. ..." And exactly that's the feeling which comes over with their music; it opens new horizons ... [Frank Mark]
