Artist History Based around the God-given song-writing and musical talents of husband-and-wife team Andrew and Jacqui Strom, the band was founded several years ago in West Auckland, New Zealand.

The band was based mainly on the streets for some time, but in late 1998 they made two music videos and a 4-song CD which has now almostcompletely sold out. Their first full album is to be released shortly - well produced and a huge improvement on their previous recorded work.The band is very excited at the sound of theirnew songs which is coming out of the stud
