This is the fourth incarnation of the band, which has existed since 1998. Philippe and Charles met in the music milieu and their first collaboration was the 2001 "Fete de la Musique" (French Music Day) in Vittel, in the Vosges region of France. Having thus made friends, they decided to revive the band, which was falling apart since the bass player was moving to Paris and the drummer had decided to pursue different goals. They met Steve through an ad in the paper and since they all got along very well, they started rehearsing together in order to resume playing as soon as possible. Since then, they have been playing in Nancy and all over the northeast of France, as well as in Belgium and Luxembourg, in festivals and opening for Lucky Peterson, Mama's Boys, Duke Robillard, Jimmy D. Lane, David Maxwell and Nico Wayne Toussaint. In 2014, they added a harmonica player to the lineup.
