"This band has slacker rock down to a fine art - one could almost call them expert amateurs." Tom Wilson SAUCE Entertainment Press

"catchy and unique" - Buzz magazine

"You guys are the weirdest band I have seen" - Simon Holmes, Bigshed Studios

"One of the states most entertaining postmodern explorations of alternative music, the bands set was a mixed bag of cheeky songs laced with toilet humour and varied music styles covering punk rock, hip hop, blues and elements of jazz and pop" - The Examiner Newspaper

The Highlights:

2006 Performed (beatbox a'capella) APRA stage of Falls Festival, Supported (acoustic) The Bedroom Philosopher at both of his Tasmanian gigs, Supported Mach Melican, Supported The Go Set, Supported Tang, Prime spot at the Free Festyval, Toured NSW twice, toured SA, peformed (acoustic) at Tas Variety Freakshow 2.

2005 Pefomed (acoustic) on the APRA stage at Falls Festival Marion Bay (05/06), Supported fellow funny bands Butterfingers and Innocent Cabbage, Prime spot at Tas Variety Freakshow 1, Peformed at Unleashed Festival (Gerling, Antiskeptic), Peformed at Rage At The Ranch Festival (Bodyjar, TZU, Ash Grunwald, 28 Days, Parkway Drive)

Love the tunes guys. Sorry we're so hard to get a hold of, i live on a deserted farm (i have to climb a tree to get broadband reception - no joke!), and the boys are in constant meditation (it's decriminalised).... but i'll keep trying. So where in tassie did you see us? i hope we were in good form.
