History

All of the quartet's members have been playing in various modes—solo and otherwise—before joining up together eight years ago. Each member still continues to have their own side projects, but the guys get together on a fairly regular basis to play at the Avalon Gardens and collaborate with other local talent including Teddy Pantelas and Jang A Lang's Dennis Drummond.
