"Half band, half bateria,
all samba monster..."
SF Weekly

"...the fiercest female
percussion section around."
SF Guardian

"Combining elements of
samba, hip-hop, funk, heavy metal,
dancehall & reggae, this 8 to 14 piece
non-traditional bateria has quickly
earned a reputation as one of
Oakland California's most raucous
and jubilant party bands."
SF Guardian

Welcome to our official web site.

Autumn is here. Leaves are changing (kinda). The rain keeps falling, and we just can't stop. So get out your calendar and pick a party from our show listing. We will celebrate the release of Rupa and the April Fishes' new album at the Mezzanine in San Francisco as well as get it jumpin' at The Rickshaw Stop, The Starry Plough and the Bently Reserve between now and the end of November. Make it your final 2009 resolution to catch us before we hibernate for the Winter. You deserve it, and what better way to check off "party more," from your list...plus, we'd love to see you there. Thanks for stopping by!

Also, if you haven't already signed up for our mailing list, what are you waiting for? We never send more than you need to know and all of our promotion is DIY so spread the word. WORD.
