NEW SINGLE
Messy World is a song of hope. Even when the world seems to be falling to pieces, we can still find love. Not the reckless abandonment of teenagers, but relationships of trust and sanity. We are stuck in this world, so why not find some happiness despite the chaos.
Messy World

Band Bio

With past lives in R&B, jazz, franco-rock, country and progressive rock, the members of the band have been performing and recording since the 1990s.
Working at the same multistorey office complex, Rod, and Danny were introduced by their common friend when asked to perform for a lunch time charity event. The connection was so good they soon after decided to form a band.
