Their music was featured in a psychedelic national Friskies commercial the aired initially during the Winter Olympics of 2010

The band formed in 2009, composed of Tim Kvasnosky on keyboards and Deanne "Dede" Reynolds on vocals. The band's song "My Secret Sweet" was featured on the 1st episode of IFC's "Dinner with the Band" in April 2010

The group's artist influences include Serge Gainsbourg, Françoise Hardy and Stereolab. Their musical influences are French Pop, combined with jazz funk, Baroque pop and 90's trip hop. Their sound often incorporates vintage electronic keyboards

The band is labeled a "dream pop" and "poppy"[5] band due to their nostalgic lyrics and 60's aesthetic, crunchy drums and haunting lyrics. Dede's music combines live drums recorded in a classic breakbeat manner with vintage organs (Farfisa and Vox organs) and other keyboards, overlaid with heavily effected unison female vocals and pop melodies
