Where did you get your name?: We have some folklore that goes along with it ... We, as the band, lived in an orphanage and Mama adopted us ... Mama taught us how to play instruments and after she died we formed a band together.
Do you have any big plans for the future?: We're not getting signed by Columbia records or anything.. We've been doing this for 15 years and just keep plugging along ... We look forward to that and we travel to Europe once a summer. And we have a new CD coming out soon called Mojito.
You've been around for a while, 15 years; How do you keep your music fresh?: We look at what the New Orleans style is doing, 'cause again they're our mentors. But we're also keeping it with in the style of brass ... A brass band style which is a really danceable music.
If your band was a kind of food what kind would it be?: Po' boy shrimp.
