Have some fucking fun with it!

About Me

It all started in the spring/summer of 2007 when Cody and Alex were jamming in guitar class and made some acoustic ska songs, after that we decided to try to get a band together we first found Flav and Akos to be the beginning of our horn section and there were a few other members who were candidates for other positions but plans fell through with that. So we started practicing as a four piece, Flav played drums because we didn't have a drummer yet, Akos played trumpet, Cody played guitar and Alex M played bass. Soon after we found our drummer Aaron and started to actually seriously practice. After doing a cover and creating our own song we found Marty our vocalists (actually she found us but whatever). As the 6 piece we started developing and being able to play well together and then we found Ann which really brought us together. Since then we've played a few shows in Guelph with bands such as: Keepin' 6, PDH, The Expos, The Lunateers, Bloodshot Bill, The Farrell Bros, Automatic Dub Riot, Stop Drop 'N Skank and Johnny Uppercut just to name a few.
As of now we are currently looking for shows so if you'd like to book us for your show or event please e-mail me at [email protected]
Look forward to seeing you all soon!
