About Me

We are a group of friends who formed this low key apartment jam collective back in May 2006. After about 8 years together listening to the same music and attending the same live shows we decided why not try our hand in making some.

Our style so far tends to be experimental, improvisational, and instrumental.
Everything heard above was on the fly and while under the influence..I kid..sort of.
Our 'headline' in here kind of sums it up but we are always pushing ahead so who knows.

A special thanx to all our friends on here. Much love and respect.
A shout out to creators of myspace...thanx for bringing us great music from around the world.
