Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
What started out as a streetband in summer 2006 in Antwerp is now a fullthrottle hardedged sharp-as a-razor kinda band who do festivals, venuegigs, indoorshows (acoustic and electric), weddings, parties, u name it. They now have a rough&tough streetset, a balladeer/troubadourshow and a stylee pianoshow. Live is mostly a mix of these 3 formats
The hardest working band in Antwerp, they boom from day 1 playing up to 8 hrs a day the first year. It got them to play Antwerps biggets Clubs, win Studio Brussel's (Belgium National Youth Radio) Demopoll in march 07, play support for John Mayall, record 3 cd's and tour Europe twice (Germany, France, Italy).
