Artist History The band started many moons ago in a wine cellar as a simple four piece: guitar, bass, drums, trumpet. Members came and went. It eventually evolved into a six piece, adding vocals and sax and later, trombone, keys and a second vocalist. This became a stable line-up, and just recently we started to experiment with turtables.
