Sounds Like
Walking into a smoky New York Bar in the early 70's wearing a purple suit and sunglasses at night. Sipping on cocktails and looking cool for the paparazzi who await outside.
An all-star band of musicians that are normally side men to the stars have come together to form a band of their own. They play only music they enjoy and it shows by the amount of emotion, enthusiasm and fun that translates to the listerners involvement and enjoyment. They play mostly original tunes in a style that could be described as a combination of organ groove, surf music, spy music and psychedelica, With an ear for tone and sound scapes they use mainly vintage instruments for the sounds of the 60’s and 70’s organ combos.
