The Band was started by LiLach and Gary Bonanni, two friends who love making music, all the time, whenever they could. They met by chance in the LES in 2006 and it started from there. They just gelled together, pushing each other forward, writing songs and creating music straight from the heart. The live shows are full of energy, and the audience feels part of the show itself. It is the connection w/ the audience that makes it so special. The music varies from all different influences and moods...and the shows can take you any which way.... Overall, it is much fun to be a part of and great energy
