Artist History Casimir and Seth met in an elevator at college. Eugene and Jesse were (and remain to be) members of trailblazing ska outfit Skavoovie, and decided to flex in another genre. These four stumbled upon John in a basement, noodling on his saxophone. Jed brought his magic guitar to the band most said didn't have room for one. And Chris Miller, a clone of notorious bounty hunter Jango Fett, was conscripted to provide the backbeat. The result is live, organic, macrobiotic hip-hop, future-engineered to keep you regular.

Group Members Casmir Nozkowski (vox), Seth Berkowitz (bass), Eugene Cho (keys), Jesse Farber (trumpet), Chris Miller (skins), John Conway (sax), Jed Livingston (guitar).
