Based in Penang, the band was formed in 2005 upon Riz’s return from the US after many years. The present line up consists of Wan (vocalist and lyricist), Riz (lead guitarist and songwriter), his sister - Leena on 2nd guitar, Jewin on bass and Alex on drums. Influences range from Led Zeppelin, Guns N Roses to Cheaptrick, Queen and Dewa (too many to list). The band writes and performs original material in both Malay and in English (with the exception of "Insomniac" and "Alexander Supertramp" which was co-written by Riz with his former band, Kickstand from Milwaukee, Wisnconsin)
Most recently, the band had embarked on a 2 week tour around the UK, playing in places such as Wales, Edinburgh, Newscastle, Portsmouth and Belfast. Additionally, the band was interviewed by BBC-Cardiff and had recorded 4 acoustic songs at Cellar Music in Belfast, where Snow Patrol had recorded their first album.
The band is currently recording a full length album and hope to release it by the end of the year.
