---------THE BAND---------
_____________________
Kofi 'Frank' Owusu - Vocals & SFX. The clean-living church singer with a secret love of distorted guitars and Daft Punk .
Ryan Ansah - Guitar and Talkbox. The hard rock/metaller with a penchant for '80s funk and '70s fusion.
George Acquah - Keyboards. The seasoned pro who's seen and done it all before - and dropped all that for this.
Syed Hossain - Bass. The man behind the whole thing. They told him it couldn't be done, a hard rock-prog funk-soul band.
Dave Elliott - Drums. The young prodigy schooled in jazz and classical, cutting loose and doing it for himself on his terms.
