After forming our current line up in January 2003 we have got down to business and racked up a fair selection of original music in the pop/rock style with some riff driven rock just to shake things up a bit. The tunes have been popular so far, but we are still looking forward to expanding the awareness of the music and the band name via our demo's and continued gigging. Check our website for demos and updates and if you like what you hear let us know. Thanks for looking. |

We obtain our influences based on the vibe of a song or musician/band. We are of the idea that networking together with other acts/venues is the key. Putting in the hard yards to promote gigs, eg. Flyer's and poster runs around your area goes a lot further than you thing. We slove supporting other groups, supporting each other and openly giving out information about the music industry. We are booked in to modern music to record our EP although we have plans for an album, we don't have the funds as yet to spend the time to make it how we want it. Hopefully that will be released around July. Website will be up soon, any support or collaboration with other bands would be very much appreciated. |
