Rock/Experimental studio project started by Akshay Rajpurohit(Aqua Dominatrix, Scribe). Since then they have turned into a 5 piece instrumental live band of incredibly talented and proven musicians consisting of Akshay Rajpurohit on guitar/synth, Shadaab Kadri on guitar/synth, Kuber Sharma on guitar/sound, Jai Row Kavi (Amit Trivedi, Karsh Kale, Blackstratblues, Indus Creed) on drums and Krishna Jhaveri (Skyharbor, Goddess Gagged) on bass.
