Kalle Kalima > guitar, vocals
Chris Dahlgren > double bass, bass guitar, vocals
Eric Schaefer > drums, vocals
Jazz, blues, country, reggae, Captain Beefheart, rock, early fusion, beat poetry, surf, ethnic influences and classical elements meet in this red-blooded, multi-national and definitely modern Berlin trio. Not forgetting twisted humour, husky singing and and white suits. There is no leader in the band. American Chris Dahlgren?s, some times fuzzy and hectic, some times breathtakingly beautiful, but always personal playing on the double bass colours the sound as much as the dynamic and multi-dimensional guitarism of Finnish Kalle Kalima (Klima Kalima, Soi Ensemble, Nuijamiehet). German Eric Schaefer guarantees the ride with his fearless drumming. The play pen is extra large, for sure. The action is driven by the band?s passion for totally uninhibited, happy-go-lucky exploration. They have done one album, Johnny La Marama, for Meta Records and their second one “…fire!” has been issued by Traumton records (www.traumton.de)
