Their current show consists of a mixture of old school funk rarities peppered with their own original material.
Over the past few years, they have been tearing the roof off numerous popular Melbourne venues including (to name a few) Tony Starr's Kitten Club, The Rainbow Hotel, The Vineyard, Rubys Lounge, The First Floor, The Night Cat and The Belgian Beer Cafe Bluestone aswell as featuring at various festivals such as The Williamstown Festival & Mordialloc Festival.
