Formed by three heathens (Kevin Rafn, Jason Stringer & Doug Hoffman) in the spring of ‘08 in rural Oregon, the “rock n’ roll” band has caught attention of small-town and big-town folks alike. Aspirations grew after its initial shows and demo, and the band branched out to play all over the West Coast, releasing a small run of "Heavy Hand of Whimsy" (their first studio album, engineered by Edgar McRae) that subsequently sold out.

Sean Ireland picked up drum duties in the Spring of '10 and now the band has finished its second proper album for Warble Records, to be released in February.

Compared to bands both big and small, their goal always remains on point: to entertain and excite minds, loins, legs, feet, arms, hands, eyes and ears.
