We do not mean the plant when we refer to the name of the rapidly rising group from Graz that uses it, oscillating between funk and pop. Its references are apparent: from Vulfpeck to John Mayer via Michael Jackson (of course!) and a characteristic soul/funk sound evidenced on their album “Golden Life”, released last year, travelling them to Europe – and the Athens Jazz festival! Unstoppable grooves, excellent pop melodies and archaic soul references characterize the group's songs and live performances, giving their audience a clear picture of the feeling-good concept in music. Let's get ready to party!
