A band on Asian Man Records. Tight, energetic 4-piece horn section supported by a driving rhythm section. Sweet toe tappin ska with rock influences from Santa Cruz, CA which makes their live show a favorite.

According to their web site they are going through a bit of a rough spot. Their keyboardist left and they haven't found a replacement. But things are starting to look up they have been asked to do a full CD of original reggae that they will try to put out this summer. They are also going to try to get a rock album out later this year.
