Dunedin based avant-indie trio featuring Mike Dooley (Toy Love and Snapper - Drums) his step-daughter Maxine Funke (Guitar) and Brett Moodie (Guitar), that formed out of the Dooley / Funke duo The Beaters.
Their debut EP was a meditative production guided by Arc Life engineer (and member of David Kilgour's Heavy Eights) Tom Bell, whilst their follow-up Dance The Dervish is closer to a live recording, though still capturing their eclectic strengths - both released on the bands own Horrible Records (the name, not the quality) label.
