Alfred "Black Boo" Duncan - Lead Vocals - Blacks spitfire flow could be heard in and around D.C. with local rap group The Difference and his former live project, D.C. Unplugged.

Yendy Brown- Lead Vocals - Yendy has previously done extensive work in the studio with superstar producer Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins and a host of other notable producers. She's sung background with Brandy and Deborah Cox and spent 3 years as a background singer for Aaliyah before she passed.

Khari Pratt - Bass - Khari is the founding member of one of D.C's most successful go - go bands, the Northeast Groovers and is quite possibly the most respected bass player in the go - go industry.
Christian "Lil Chris" Wright - Keyboards - Chris has also been a member of Northeast Groovers and S.O.U.L.O and has since become one of the city's most sought after freelance keyboardists performing with, Occupation, Raw Image, The Fam, Suttle Thoughts and Familiar Faces.
Andrew “Drew” White - Lead Guitar - Although one of the youngest of the group, Andrew still has an impressive history which includes tenure with R&B songstress Mya, DC, R&B crooner & Grammy nominee Raheem Devaughn in addition to popular go - go bands, the Northeast Groovers, Optimystic Trybe, Third Dimension, Uncalled For Band and Black Alley.

There are three things that you can only get in Washington D.C., The President, Go - Go Music and Mambo Sauce. This electrifying group takes their name from the mystery sauce popular at Chinese/Soul Food carry - outs throughout D.C. Comprised of seven of D.C. and Go - Go musics most prominent musicians, the band has created a new form of music called "Pocket" that effectively blends D.C. Go - Go percussion with well crafted songs, explosive raps and sultry melodies. Mambo Sauce and their label Red C Records intend to use this formula to infiltrate the national music market with the D.C Go - Go sound.
