About Me

Guitar player Johan Niskanen is also a member of "DUST" and the Van Halen tribute band "Fan Heller".Henri Välipakka is also the drummer in Fan Heller (Van Halen tribute band).On bass we have Thomas "Totte" Björk (sometimes we call him Diego;)).Cactus Cruz is an instrumental rock/fusion trio from Stockholm, Sweden. We like to jam and improvise, mix different kinds of music, not allways the rock oriented stuff. Blues, jazz, latin, hardrock, classical music. etc..More details coming soon..
