The first line up included three guitars (one of those was a lap steel); after the first selfproduced 4 tracks Ep Nihil, we decided to keep only 2 guitars...
This Ep earned good reviews from stonerrock.com (you can check the review on the website archive) and many music magazines.
In 2002 our first full-lenght album Tamarindo (10 tracks) descended onto the Earth and the World was spread by a small independent label called Desertfox Records.
Thanks to these guys we found a Distribution label named Brainstorm Distribution.
Many gigs have passed in these years 2003-2004-2005…We played with bands like: Brant Bjork & the Bros, El Infernal Quinlan, the Eagles of Death Metal, Mr.Man, Gorilla, Dozer and the italian rock band Ojm.
Now we are out in space with the Holy Mary Herself, preparing the sencond half of Car Wash.
The promo cd of Car Wash(4 tracks)is top demo of the month (august) on Metal Hammer magazine (Italian issue).
Our music is simply our vision of everything, sometimes it’s nervous and aggressive and sometimes very quite, romantic and visionary ...
Above all we love to listen to any kind of tunes from the 70's, we love bands like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Stooges, Deep Purple, Hendrix but also we appreciate bands like Loop, the Heads, Earthlings?, Qotsa, Man or Astroman and many many more ....
