They mainly represent a fusion of psychedelic iniderock and folk genre. They also write and compose all of their songs. The lead vocal Jrg Holdinghausen is a multi-Instrumentalist talented musician accompanied by guitarist Alex Binder and Hanno Stick on drums.
During the concert, Alex on the guitar was playing a mix of sounds with many effects and Hanno on the drum, trained in jazz fusion kept the audience mesmerized throughout the concert. In the end, the audience had the chance to interact with the band members.
While expressing his feelings in words, Jrg noted that, in Germany it can get very cold in the winter, and his song writing shows the feeling of melancholy coming and then he relates that to the inspiring future which is full of surprises. To describe the feelings of visit to Bangladesh, Jrgs greatest findings were the ways of life and love for music of Bangladeshi people. Alex was also very happy to get into close interaction with Bangladeshi youth. The band looks forward to compose music and highlight their experience in Bangladesh.
