Not the most original name but it was catchy. The band played at numerous occasions and events in and around Lelystad. They played at The Underground, The Meester and local festivals Jolpop, Artifest and Lelystart.
They also played as support act for upcoming dutch artists “Drive Like Maria” and the psychedelic rock band “Dewolff”.
