The past six years have been incredible for us. When our journey first began, we wanted to travel the world, meet new people, experience different cultures, and grow as musicians and human beings. 
We wanted to share our music with the world, and let the world’s music shape us. 
From the "Grand Masquerade" to the streets of Europe, our music has been our way to experience our emotions with everyone who loves to hear it.  

For the past 6 years, we have fought for everything we have achieved. Our humble origins began with daily performances as buskers to connect with YOU and keep our dreams alive. 
With each year, we saw more success: viral videos amassing millions of views, EPs charting, sold-out concerts, films scored, and awards won. And yet, we never lost the work ethic that got us there in the first place. After everything we accomplished with this group, what we hope most is that we are remembered for our dream to have an impact. 
After releasing our first full LP and two EPs with the songs that so many of you know and love, and some new ones which you have yet to hear, we’re ready to share yet another epic story with YOU and the world. This time not only through music but through visual storytelling. 

In Spring 2020, during the Lockdown period here in Germany we searched within ourselves, spending time to self-reflect on the past years and what is truly important. With so much chaos and uncertainty gripping our society, we felt it was our duty to share something positive and uplifting.
We feel that now our mission is to spread a message of hope. In the past few months, we have been on the receiving end of incredible acts of kindness and generosity, and we hope that our music and message will resonate and unite everyone during these tough times. By sharing our energy and passion with YOU our friends and fans, we want to uplift and motivate you to overcome any challenge that stands before you. Most importantly, we hope that our music will take you on a journey, make you smile, and provide you with some much-needed positive energy.

In our Lockdown Studio, we wrote an entire story concept centered around a cosmic journey that would see a group of explorers leave a Climate Devastated Earth and travel to a new frontier in search of the key to the future of mankind. The end goal of the project is to take the next step in development for us as a group and cement our name as great storytellers, whose imagination reaches far beyond that of musical composition. 


What We Need & What You Get
We want to embark upon a new journey, one where we focus heavily on our Storytelling. Our dream is to write a series of fantasy adventure stories where our music acts as the soundtrack to the tale. This will require a considerable amount of time and resources, and if we can achieve at least 200 Patrons per month, we believe we will have enough to create the first story. The songs, in their entirety, will be released to you here first. 
We find ourselves constantly humbled by the support we’ve received over the past four years. So many of you have treated us with grace and kindness. Whether contributing to us on the street, or opening up your venue or home to us, helping us fund our stolen equipment or broken down van, we could not be more grateful for your gesture. The past four years of our lives have gone into making this music. We rarely took a break and earned a reputation by many as being one of the hardest working groups in the street. We will not stop that. The support you’ve given us fuels our dedication and being a part of Patreon is no different. Without it, the release and marketing of the animation series are not possible.
GIVE WHAT YOU CAN!
We spent a year of our lives living as street musicians. WE KNOW HOW HARD YOU WORK FOR YOUR MONEY. If you would like to help us but are unable to contribute any money, trust us, we completely understand! But there are other ways you can contribute to the success of our campaign if you are unable to support us financially. Any support you can give us through your social media networks is greatly appreciated. Share our campaign or tell people about us and the music that we make. The more people that hear about our campaign, the more likely we are to be successful.
