The three members are all originally from the Great Karoo (Beaufort West and Murraysburg), and their sound is primarily influenced and inspired by it.
Together, they combine their three-part vocals and a multitude of instruments, including guitar, ukulele, bass, harmonica and drums, to create upbeat music with lyrics that always tell a story.
