Band history
When the band was founded in 1999, it only had three members: Stefan Heilmann, Christian Thannheuser and Timo Frank. However, she soon reinforced herself with Thilo Vierheilig, who became the band's singer, and the saxophonist Caro Fröhlich. Together they record a single called à la Ska .
In the following year three more band members join: Sascha Turtschany, Markus Weis and Christoph Emmerth, with whom they recorded another single in 2001 ( Ska Fiction ).
In the course of time, two band members quit, for whom two new ones come. In 2002 their debut album "be shaky" was released.
