About Me


Le groupe se compose de deux Anglais, Mark Keen (guitare et voix) et Pete Turner (basse) ainsi que d’un Américain, Simon Huntley (batterie) âgé de seulement 12 ans. Ils vivent tous en Bretagne depuis plusieurs années et jouent ensemble depuis Janvier 2008.

Ils se sont rencontrés par l’intermédiaire du père de Simon qui suggéra à Pete que Simon pouvait être le batteur que lui et Mark recherchaient.

Leur premier concert eu lieu à Saint Gilles Vieux Marché le 1er Février 2008 lors d’une scène ouverte : ils jouèrent leurs propres compositions et réalisent actuellement de nouvelles chansons dans l’optique de futurs spectacles à venir.

Leurs influences vont du rock alternatif traditionnel et moderne en passant par le funk, blues, jazz et hip hop…Il sont le parfait exemple du groupe de scène et illuminent à chaque prestation les visages de ceux qui sont venus les applaudir.
