It was inevitable, after years of friendship, that these musicians would eventually get together and do something creative after
doing their own things with other projects.
If you can imagine The Meters brought into the 21st Century with the addition of synths and a more current feel you will be somewhere nearer to getting the subtleties of this project. Bringing a dub sound up to date is somewhat of an achievement
Check out their remixes of Sink Ya Teeth’s Shut Down and MK Uzors’ Innocence and you will appreciate their ‘left of centre’ attitude to breaking the rules.
Have a listen to their brand of Post Punk/ Psyche Funk on Bandcamp and ‘follow’ us, so we can let you know of any further news, gigs and releases.
