About Me

a 5 piece dirty, raw soul/garage group from san diego, ca with energy and punch for days. at least one tambourine gets smashed to bits per show. yeah, we tend to be a bit retro 1960's-ish, but it's with a modern twist that will make you shout out "good lord!" anyhow- whatever it may be, our main goal is to get your asses a-movin' and your feet a-stompin'. oh yes, and we always be lookin' good while doing it.
