Founded in Southern California in 1988, the band reflects the country, doo-wop, and rhythm and blues that inspired Sandy, born Robert Williams, to start singing as a teenager. His personal record collection, 75,000 and counting, continues to broaden the influences that flow through his songwriting and vocals. An acclaimed tribute to Tex-Mex legend Freddy Fender, released at the start of the 2020 lockdown, signaled another step in the group's continuing growth.

The vibe lands like a retro drive-in vision with a futuristic jolt, and their catalog stretches from the cinematic sweep of Big Sky to the breathless sprint of 400 Bucks and the raw jolt of Psychobilly Freakout. For years, Heath and bassist Jimbo Wallace have toured the world under a simple credo to rock hard, drive fast, and live true.
