[...] were a five piece band from Cape Town, South Africa. The original line-up comprised Michelle Breeze (Vocals), Dominic Forrest (Guitars), Jeremy Daniel (Bass), Ross Campbell (Drums) and David Fiene (Keyboards). They released 2 full length albums ([...] - 1997, So Many Prophets - 1999) and 1 EP (Shade Of A Ghost - 1999) and were regarded as one of South Africa's foremost alternative rock bands at the time.

The founder members of the band relocated to the UK and recruited a new MusicAL line-up comprising Roy Pfeffer (Drums), Dino Sofos (Keyboards) and Omer Marantz (Bass) who played at numerous venues over the London music circuit between 2002 and 2004 including Ocean and Shepherd's Bush Empire, performing a mix of old and new material.
