We like to improvise. That means we make the music up on the spot, and we generally record in one take. We make mistakes and we don't care. Besides - the good notes generally outnumber the bad.
We pursue any musical idea that occurs to us. One minute we might play techno, the next a disco version of a Bob Dylan song, and then we might top it off with a funk-influenced jam. Make sure to fasten a seatbelt before you listen, because we make lots of sharp turns. You have been warned!
