Their style draws from Electro, Indian Disco, Post Punk, New Wave, Indian Film scores from the 60s & 70s, Acid House, Cosmic Disco, Cabaret Punk, Funk, Soul, Delta Blues but they craft a sound and style that is completely their own, and one that defies genre classification.

They have also played around the world in cities like Oslo, Prague, Amsterdam and Copenhagen. They have been a part of the line-up at almost every major music festival in India including Bacardi NH7 Weekender, Magnetic Fields, Sunburn, Echoes of Earth.
Their latest EP, ‘PESF (Persons.Elastic.Superior.Fantastic)’ takes inspiration from certain synthesizer sounds and 60s psychedelia. The EP also features the late Karan Joseph on the song ‘Plastic Elastic’, playing in a style he’s never been heard in before.
