In the United States respected California blues radiohost Rick Keyes even named this album ‘One of the best three albums of 2015 period!’ In addition, an overwhelming number of great reviews and a nomination for the Danish Music Award. Europe’s leading blues magazine Blue News receipted with 5 stars and the words ‘There is, quite originality and melodic drive of this band as it is easy to become obsessed with.’

On stage, the band exhibits a high musical level with the two guitarists Andreas Andersen and Martin Olsen in front. Their musical understanding is almost telepathic and is aided by the solid backing from the Texan bassplayer Brother Birck and Swedish drummer Louisian Boltner.
The band contantly balances on the knife’s edge – where both musicians and audience has to be on their toes and where the next moment is unpredictable and exciting! They get the sounds of the past to sound like the future. With a stylish mix of elements of classic Chicago blues and trance-like and hypnotic delta grooves they are living proof of how blues music can be played in an exciting modern form.
As one of the most sought after blues acts in Denmark they have played numerous concerts in recent years. Among them counts many major international festivals and tours.
With an entertaining show and a versatile repertoire there is something for every music lover. In short: One of the concerts not to miss!
