"The hippest fusion funk, this side of the Detroit River" -Ted Shaw, The Windsor Star
“Feeding off each other, the solos flow endlessly, a metamorphosis of a living thing. These people are serious musicians, [playing] something you cannot fake your way through with recycled Stevie Wonder licks, or contorted, lead guitar player faces” -Chris Pacaud The Lance
“The Band has mastered the early seventies progressive jazz-rock feel giving them a place somewhere in the neighborhood of Steely Dan, Stevie Wonder and Frank Zappa.” -Jeff Stiles Upfront
“Suddenly, the music starts, and a gentle sway reckons its funky way through the crowd. Standing room only, on a Monday night—gotta love it!” -JJR Upfront
“Can’t miss the ‘Psychedelic Freak-Out” -Dusty D’Annunzio
“YOU
GUYS ROCK!!!!!!!!” -Exuberant Fan at Milk
