We’re currently working with producer Roel Poriau (Think of One, Antwerp Gipsy Ska Orchestra) on our new EP which will be released in november. No guests, just our drums and some very good producing…
Watch this site or our Fb-page for some previews in the near future.

The gigs at the moment are very fun to play (and there are still some more to be announced). Especially the north of France rocks!
