A long time ago. They were unknown with the big audience then. Yet you could hear it was only a matter of time for they would breakthrough. Still proud to have been together on stage with these wonderful and warm friendly musicians. Hopefully they will visit the Netherlands again.

    What a great show in Pittsburgh PA on June 12th! I was a HUGE fan before and now I am a HUGE fan for life. Truly an amazing group of artists here - thank you for sharing your music with the world! I hope the best has yet to come!

    Awesome band!!! Here's a few reasons:
    1.) They seem to be a very happy group (especially Nanna...always smiling, even in the heat)
    2.) They write their own songs
    3.) Their live versions are just as good as their studio versions
    4.) They use many different instruments, making them mesh extremely well
    5.) Great voices!
    6.) Nanna is hot! (which can be taken either way in this video)

    This was as fun to watch and listen to as it was for them. It's good to see them happy, because we love them.
