Their wide range of influences include Led Zepplin, the Beatles, Stevie Wonder, P-Funk, Otis Redding, Stevie Ray Vaughn, King's X, Rush, Billy Joel, Jamiroquoi, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Extreme, Chick Corea, Rage Against The Machine, Herbie Hancock, 60's soul, 70's funk, and 80's hard rock.
Named "Unsigned Artist of the Month" in Keyboard Magazine and placed on the Official 2005 Grammy Ballot in 8 different categories for his solo debut album "Smoke Sex Water", NYC-born singer/songwriter Jason Yudoff's percussive keyboard skills lead this hypnotic group down an original path of funk, rock, pop and soul with a hip, energetic and passionate vibe.
There just isn't anyone out there with this kind of sound.
