"Matthew and James were just playing this thing as I was coming back from a smoke, and I knew I had lyrics in my phone that would work with it. Added some guitar but not much, and it was donezo"
The band have played Dublin venues Sin É, Fibbers, The Thomas House and Lost Lane and recently released their collaborative album Hit The Remix Button Vol.1, a collection that comprises remixed versions of songs from their 2023 King of Kimmage EP, all produced by Irish artists.
