Biography
After hearing them play in Slovene clubs and at festivals, the owner of Rock'n'Roll Records invited the band to a studio in 1999 to record their first record Move Your Feet It's One O'Clock. They then toured Slovenia, Croatia, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic. In the same year the band created a soundtrack for the youth film The Angry, directed by Špela Kucler for Radio-Television Slovenia (RTV Slovenia). In 2000, the band made connections with Swiss concert agency Stage Dive. The group was also included in a compilation No-fi Trash by Swiss record company Floppy Cow which also produced Lagwagon, No Fun At All, The Get Up Kids and Hot Water Music. They did a Swiss tour with the American band Goldfinger. In 2000, their second album Go Home and Practice was released by Rock'n'Roll Records. The video for the song Hawaiian Club was directed by Ven Jemeršić of Perfo Productions in co-production with Radio-Television Slovenia (RTV Slovenia). Elvis Jackson's music direction is firmly entrenched somewhere between punk, reggae and metal and their main guideline remains to provide fun for themselves and their audiences. Their latest full-length album Against the Gravity was produced by Faith No More bassist Bill Gould. They appeared on many international ska-punk compilations and their live gigs are notoriously wild and fun which is also demonstrated by their videos.

Drummer Marko Soršak - Soki is one of the most acclaimed Slovenian drummers and he gladly shares his skills and knowledge as a private teacher at B.A.S.E. music school and at so called drum clinics that he - time permitting - organizes throughout Slovenia. He is a local endorser for Tama brand of drums and has recorded a DVD presenting the basics of modern drumming.
