Artist History In 2001, 8 youths from different backgrounds and musical abilities in helter skelter fashion joined together with a common goal; to generate the most funkified original sound possible. In their first shows, their sound was too ragged and avant-garde for the crowd, but in time the band matured and their musical experimentation developed into a style entirely of their own that is just beginning to seep out from the Central PA circles. The future hopefully holds an era of more grooves and a wider scene.

Group Members Piotr (Pete) Roszczenko, Nik Hartman, Joe Basile, Matt Ferry, Nate James, Will Noone, Brandon Kisner, and Tom Gordon.

Instruments Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drum Set, Keyboard, Alto and Tenor Saxophone, and Trombone.
