And out of the darkness there came light... So goes the blurb for this innovative band consisting of Sally Wyatt, lead guitar and vox, Alexander Palass, bass and vox, and Jon carter, drums. Blending funky dance music with sprinkles of rock this band delivers what can be described as a tight and melodic set, and will make the hairs on the back of your neck, if you got any, stand firmly to attention.
