Based upon their live shows, they have been described as "one of Australia’s most exciting new roots acts"

The band has played alongside some of Australia’s top artists including Jeff Lang, Angry Anderson, Jenny Morris, and Dallas Frasca.

The band has been described as "getting audiences stirred up all over Australia and beyond with their high energy, foot stomping roots, blues and rock. White hot raunchy slide, powerful vocals and driving beats get people up on their feet with an uncontrollable urge to move every part of their bodies" and "a fusion of different genres (that has) created a new sound of their own which is refreshingly unique".

Hole left the band in 2012 and was replaced by guitarist Dave Williams. Phoebe Juskevics also left the band the following year and was replaced by drummer Will Pippin. Pippin left the band in 2013 and was replaced by Dylan Harding. The band has recently toured New Zealand playing to packed venues and is a favourite at blues festivals on the east coast of Australia. The band ceased to exist in 2018.
