Having each studied jazz, they decided to form the band in order to explore their love of groove music, inspired by artists such as Yussef Kamaal, Makaya McCraven, and Herbie Hancock. They give high-energy performances designed to get people dancing, and recently supported Alfa Mist at Hare and Hounds.
