The band have connected to both genre purists as much as casual music fans by focusing on what's important: songwriting, groove and powerful vocals

Formed in 2000, they were the first Australian Soul / Funk act to be signed to an overseas label and then the first to tour the UK and Europe. Along the way have been nominated for seven ARIA Awards (the Australian Grammys), four APRA Songwriting Awards and their 11th studio album This Is How You Do It, was released in November 2023.
