Artist description A real band of real musicians playing an eclectic mix of original funk, latin-jazz, and reggae tunes. Live performances stress heavily the improvisational approach... whilst retaining that undeniable ass-shakin' fantabulous groove.

Music Style Psychoactive soulful jazz-funk grooves.

Artist History From the campus rehersal space to the kindly homes of inquisitive minds, through the sodden and saturated streets into the cozy chaos of basement wild parties... came a most curious yet undeniable Groove. Timid at first, but ever steady, this Groove began to build. Accounts of the empowering entity sprang up on Pubnights and Jam Nights and elsewhere in the rainy city... Then, in a roaring cresendo, the Groove became strong. People who heard the Groove also became strong and spoke of their aural rejuvination to others. And all in the land was groovy...
