SIDE ALLEY
GROOVE MACHINE

it all started in one of Chicago's side alleys

that's where we were visited by the aliens of jazz

our only common language was funk

that's when we created by accident

a jam band that cuts harder than your favorite hot sauce

an neo-soul group so shape-shifty we can't be contained by physical parameters
