The band started when Labich and Lefevre, who had known each other for some time through the music circuit, both found themselves free at the same time. Dan had a body of work that had been building for awhile. Lefevre called Funke, who had occasionally sat in with Deep Banana. Funke was initially interested in it because it was going to be blues-infused rock band. I was gravitating toward, and then the first time I heard Danny's music I thought, Wow! A few days later, they called back and we went into my studio and started to record stuff. We wanted to see how we would connect as musicians." Funke and Lefevre said this kind of collaborative, organic style is one they've settled into nicely both as a rock band, and as an acoustic trio.
