Founded in 1993, they have gained quite a reputation overseas. They've shared stages with the likes Big Bad Voodoo daddy, The Artists, No Doubt and Save Ferris all over the west-coast. They also played the Ska-Summit 2003 in Las Vegas, where they joined acts like The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Madness. Their unique cover of "Hotel California" was downloaded over one Million times at mp3.com and was number one of the Ska-Charts for several months.
