The band's brand of funky, folksy, groovy, dancy, sexy music still manages to soften even the hardest of beards and proves to be as infectious as ever. Their catchy tunes and grooving bass lines satisfy everyone from the most discerning music lover to the most casual listener on the street. The silky smooth trio, consisting of Willie van Tonder (bass, vocals), Jaryd Smith (vocals, guitar) and Reyno van der Linde (drums), have been hard at work for the past two years charming audiences across the country and performing alongside some of South Africa's biggest names at the biggest local festivals.
