Formed in 2006, we are predominantly a 'festival band', although we like to keep busy gigging and don't often pass up the opportunity to take our live show anywhere....................................................
............................................................
........... The highlights of 2007 for us was performing at the Smallworld festival, and also Nik Turner (of Hawkwind/Space Ritual) coming down to guest with us at one of our local shows.

After an awkward start to 2008 in which involved a couple of band members leaving, we expected to ‘tread water’ for much of the year, in order to write new material and re-settle with the remaining line-up, -Loz now switching between bass and keyboards, Tex moving from congas to guitar.
As it turned out, it wasn’t to be a wasted year... We toughened up very quickly, and new tracks flowed easily. We were also boosted in April by the return of Jim Womble, one of the founder members (who was to move on by the beginning of 2009). Our sound definitely evolved, - it had freed and broadened itself stylistically -to the point were we performed a totally acoustic gig during the spring at the ‘Synergy Center’ in London, supporting the legendary ‘Eat Static’
We also still managed to get out and play at a some 2008 festivals (the Smallworld gatherings, Summer of love festival etc) as well as becoming involved with, and performing at, various events within the underground party/rave scene in the south of England.
The highlights of 2008 however for us, have to be, having the honour of being the lone live support band for both ‘Ozric Tentacles’ in May, and Nik Turner’s ‘Space Ritual’ in November of that year.
December 2008 saw us signing to Digital Revolution Records, with whom we will be releasing our first studio album in 2009 ............................................................
