We are currently a quintet based in San Francisco. We play an eclectic blend of styles which is a reflection of the multi-ethnic, multi-national makeup of the band. We are primarily Electronic/Experimental but you will hear Middle eastern, Classical, Trip Hop, Folk and even some country influences in our music. But whatever style of music we're playing in, our music will always be melodic. Listen for yourselves and let us know what you think.
Why this name?
Use your imagination...
Do you play live?
We are a new band--we have yet to play our first gig together but all of us individually, have a ton of experience playing live and we are eager to get out there and play behind this great music.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
the internet gives us access to fans in places we've never been and truly bridges gaps between nations.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Under the right circumstances but initially it will be DIY until we cant do it anymore
