Sounds Like: An evolved Moby Grape, with hints of rock-a-billy and a strong attraction to psychodelia. In our 'market tests' of playing every roadhouse dive along Interstates 10 and 215 and 91, 9 out of 10 older Hells Angels love us, most the younger ones are quoted wanting something a little... simpler.

Steve Savage, Director of "Cosmic Radio" (find us on the soundtrack!) comments: "Bluesy, Alternative, Retro Rhythm Gods. Rockin' melodies on a cloud of loosly hung Tie-Dyed Curtains. I love the sound of this band. The music you'd hear David Lynch and Quentin Tarantino listening to while cruising around Tijuana in a pickup truck with Elvis at the wheel. The pre-army Elvis, that is."
