Taking cues from a variety of informed directions, the group were prolific features of the local live scene, and attached themselves to both R18 and all-age crowds with varying success.

Lovely, dreamy, folky indie-pop from (former Ragamuffin Children and The O'Lovelys) keyboardist Brook Singer and Jazz guitarist John Fitzgerald (guitar). Taking a DIY approach the group have toured Europe and the US, garnished exposure on television series soundtracks and grown a fairly sizeable following around the globe.

Old and dilapidated wooden villa on Madras Street that functioned as a rather excellent venue for house parties and all-age events for a few years prior to the Canterbury Earthquakes in 2010 / 2011.
