The band was born in 2014 to run jam sessions in one of the most legendary venues in Madrid, the Honky Tonk, where they spent more than four years, contributing every week on Thursdays with good music, great people and a wonderful atmosphere. They will start with a repertoire of more than 250 songs, which allows them to adapt to all kinds of musical tastes, ranging from the most primitive rock and roll of the 50s to the most indie sounds of the 21st century, including swing, blues, rock, funk, pop, as well as national pop, and almost anything that music lovers have enjoyed during the last 70 years, including the most modern songs of the 21st century.
