Till now, they have released three albums, with the first one coming out in 2003 and titled Tukaj in Zdaj [Here and Now]. The second one, called Si ti Hlapec? [Are You a Slave?], followed in 2005. Both were mostly sung in Slovene and have garnered quite a lot of public and media attention, with some of the songs even being played on the Jamaican Roots FM radio. Their third album, Under JAH Sun, came out in 2012 and is wholly sung in English. The single Plamen [Flame] was also released at that time and the song stayed for 3 weeks on MTV Adria balkan charts, also receiving quite some radio airplay.
Line-up
The band was founded by Tadej Tratnik - Tadiman, who at that time was also hosting a reggae radio show and led a funk-punk band called Slowly getting. Today, he is also a member of an italian reggae band Makako jump, with whom he is regularly touring in both Italy and outside.
The other members include Matej Horvat on drums (besides Tadiman the only remaining member of the original line-up), Samo Pečar on bass, Beno Soršak on the guitar in Boštjan Jug on keyboards. All four of them can also be found in other musical set-ups like Electric Boogie or Ritem Sekta.
Gigs
The band has had more than 200 appearances on stages across Slovenia and have performed also in Italy, Austria, Hungary, Croatia and Czech Republic. Some of the festivals that hosted them are Soča Reggae Riversplash, Lent Festival, Rototom Sunsplash and the Sziget festival.
