Asking fans of the band to sign up as "Young Believers"; playing songs that base themselves in a world part Bowie's "Diamond Dogs", part Hesse's "Steppenwolf"; a live show that has been described as "something to behold". This Leeds based band has a long history together due to the fact that three are family members; guitarist Jim is the brother of front man Jon and on keyboards is cousin Katherine.
