The band is now finally all ready and set to launch at ASIAN(SOUND)SCAPES x PONSONBY SOCIAL. The band has a unique sound that combines the musical experiences of Ben, Warren, Nick and Ron into one very global sound. Their music is a blend of Jazz funk, classic rock, and blues and is influenced by both Eastern and Western music.
