Focusing on original material and developing our style was/is our prime motivator. Our style has been described as Deep Purple meets Pink Floyd. Although when we write a new song and we believe in it ,to us it doesn't matter what style it's in.
A good song is a good song.

Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We love playing to an audience. We love the energy and the freedom to improvise on the fly. We gig around southern Ontario when we can. We've been fortunate to play some summer music festivals and cool venues including headlining a show at the legendary Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto.
