We formed back in October 2014 for our first gig at a ball. The University of Otago music department randomly put us together and it worked in our favor. We automatically jelled and the writing just came naturally.We don't like to categorize ourselves into a particular genre and like to think we are a versatile band that can play to most genres and don't write to a specific genre.
