ABOUT THE BAND
We're based in Perth, Western Australia. We love music, and we love bringing that full soul sound to any event. From high-energy funk and disco dance-floor sets to sitting back at cocktail hour with your favourite laid-back numbers from the golden age of soul, we can bring the vibe to any party.
We run as a 10-piece band with two singers, 4-piece rhythm section, and a 4-piece horn section.
WHERE WE'VE PLAYED
We've performed at The Ellington Jazz Club, The Duke of George, corporate events at Optus Stadium and Crown, weddings at Nikola Estate and Margaret River wineries, city and regional music festivals, city-centre to surf clubs, breweries … and even back yards.
Wherever you're bringing the party, we can bring the soul.
