Described as a dangerous sound of psychedelic indie-dance sweetened with barbershop harmonies, expect a live set full of endless frenzied energy plus random instruments like saxes, mandolins and kazoos. The band's manic gigging schedule has won performances with classic bands such as The Beat and The Specials, with invitations to support new acts such as Pete and The Pirates and Alabama 3.
