History
The band formed in Tokyo in 1994, self-releasing four cassette albums. In 1999, the group signed to Virgin/EMI Japan where they released three albums.
In 2013, the bassist in the group Moostop announced his desire to leave the group. Vocalist Don Matsuo stated that "I wasn’t really surprised, and knew that maybe this would happen one day, but I still wasn’t happy about his decision." The group did a tour and recorded a tour-only EP together. During this tour, the groups' drummer Pitt also announced his departure. Don Matuso and his wife Matta began focus on a new group called The Randolf after this tour.
18 months after the group announced their departure, Matuso reformed the group with Bukka Billy as their new drummer with a touring bass player.
Style and influences
The band's funk-rock style is influenced by acts such as the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis.
