Najia Bagi (vocalist), Paul Balcolmbe (guitarist) and Dave Johnson (percussionist), officially began playing together at the beginning of 2007. Their influences range from Aretha Franklin, Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughn, to Amon Tobin and ‘progressive’ rock bands such as Tool, Led Zeppelin and The Mars Volta. Their music has been described as “Folk ‘n’ Bass”, “Acoustic Drum ‘n’ Bass”, “Flamenco-inspired acoustic rock” and “Soul”. "There's traces of Massive Attack's brooding claustrophobia, hints of Portishead's sonic intricacy and there’s vocals - soulful, potent, vaulting between seductress and antagonist and delivering some awe-inspiring lyrics which are 'literary' in the best possible sense"
