“What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset” - Blackfoot

Through the mist and fog, from the highest peaks, to the lowest troughs, winter brings a chill across the depths of the Tasman. Amidst the icey planes, the people look for warmth. And it is the fire of music that warms a warriors heart. Just as some start to lose hope, a vibrational transformation occurs. A cosmic collaboration. Across the astral, through dimensions up and down, it’s emergence reverberates through the cosmos. Some call them Dusty Troopers. Others call them Cowboys from another time, occupying a place outside of our continuum. But their name is not important, for their waves are where their magic lies.

Warm your heart by our fire friend, for you have travelled far and wide. We did not come here to cry, but to dance, enlivened by the richness of the fruits we call life. We thank you for joining us on this journey, and hope it brings you what your heart desires most. We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams.
