The band

Two Canadians, two Swedes, and a Swiss. Based in Gland.

We started as a psychedelic rock band, but then we don't know what the **** happened. High energy, heavy breakdowns, dreamy leads, good ol' guitar solos, and a very present frontman. We're based in Gland, and come from Canada, Sweden and Geneva.

Two Peverils from Canada, two Kjellqvists from Sweden, and Clément from Geneva. Most of us had known each other for the best part of ten years before the band happened in 2018. Classic rock, heavy metal and psychedelic funk, depending on the song and sometimes inside the same song.

We write and record at the Chango Temple, our studio in Gland, and we put the records out ourselves. Four so far. We take the fun seriously and not much else.

The Chango Temple

Our studio in Gland, and the name on the label. Every record since 2020 was written, recorded and mixed here. It's also where we spend Tuesday nights, and where the open jams happen.
