[edit] History
The group was formed in 2004 as a new and Experimental Hip hop group, by the Soul/Hip Hop/Funk drummer/percussionist Cess Rock, who until then performed solo.
Cess met guitarist Ricky Tillo, a guitarist for two more unsigned and unknown Canadian bands: Indie rock band Robotman and Experimental Shoegaze band Action Figure Army. Later, they were joined by bassist Miloš Angelov, who himself performed until then only with his Electronic Alternative rock act hellocharlie, and asked him to join to the group.
Since then, through 2004-2005, the band recorded few songs for their upcoming and independent EP "Another Elsewhere", yet since then they turned to their own ways and performed with their own bands, Ricky with Robotman and Action Figure Army, Miloš with hellocharlie (who are supposed to release a first EP in 2008), and Cess then met Dave Baksh and joined as the percussionist and MC for Heavy metal band Brown Brigade.
In December 2007, the three band members got back together and performed and recoded again, for the first time in more than a year, as they claim "mature and experienced" as "everyone's individual project taught him what works and what doesn't, and how to rock a crowd" says Rock.[1]
The band is currently writing material for their upcoming full length-album, which they will release independently.
Their EP "Another Elsewhere" is set to be released in the new year, according to the band's myspace.[2]
On April 24, 2008, Johnny Owens, a Candian Heavy metal drummer who's currently performs with Cess Rock in Brown Brigade and has worked with the band as a session drummer, officially joined the group as the drummer.
