Testimonial
"This band brings back all the colourfully-expansive, artistic exploration and theatrical live performance zest, of the old heydays at Woodford and other major Australian festivals across the land.
​
To boldly go where no band has gone before... Niq Reefman's wildly inventive, 'follow the yellow brick road' compositions are passionately, immaculately-performed by his incredibly-competent and brave band-mates, willing to follow Niq into the most challenging, often harrowing sonic adventures.
​
This music melts the audience's faces. Enjoy the welcome return of that ultra-important, long lost musical art: 'genius quirk'!
