At the beginning Lessing had written a song for a birthday party that was so popular at the celebration that he decided to start a musical career. Shortly afterwards the first CD was recorded in-house. In the same year Lessing appeared several times with Daniel Hammler as a two-man band, until the final formation was found in 2007. In spring 2007 the band tried to take part in the  Ö3 Soundcheck , but failed with their song Another Day in the final.

According to the self-description, the music style ranges from reggae to drum and bass . The texts are in German , Styrian , English , Spanish and Patois . The group is produced by Ernst Gottschmann , who has already worked with bands like the Ausseer Hardbradlers or the B-Funk Family . In 2008 the first studio album, Hands Up , was released.
