American musical trio renowned for fusing jazz, funk, and electronic dance music into an explosive live experience they call 'cave music'. Formed at The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in New York City, the band initially gained notoriety for incendiary subway busking sessions. Their raw, percussion-driven sound—built on two saxophones and drums—ignites spontaneous dance frenzies and has evolved to incorporate electronic elements across multiple studio albums and global tours.

• Police banned them from playing at NYC's Bedford Avenue subway station after their performances caused 'dangerous' crowd dancing, forcing them to relocate.
• Member Wenzl McGowan innovates 'contra-sax,' attaching a traffic cone to his instrument and using a drum machine to create distorted, industrial textures.
• Their 2013 Tiny Desk Concert for NPR went viral, exposing their chaotic energy to mainstream audiences and boosting their cult following.
• All three members are vegans and environmental activists; their 2020 album 'Life on Other Planets' explores ecological themes through frenetic compositions.
