About Me

For bookings, contact us here!

Primordial beat foursome aiming to score some...right here and right now, it's sound at the speed of "wow!" Coming soon to a lunchtime discotheque near you. Strut your stuff and get back to work before the whistle blows!

AND BY THE WAY...
We don't take friend requests from bands anymore. Hypocrites? Naw...we don't troll around asking bands to be our friends (unless we think you're "ginchy"). If you want to add us, send a message. But if the first song on your band's profile has guitar that goes "jing-jing-jing-jing-jing-jing-jing-jing-jing-jing-jing-jing -jing-jing-jing-jing-jing-jing-jing", the answer will probably be "no".
