Movie Synopsis:
Andie is an outcast, hanging out either with her older boss, who owns the record store where she works, or her quirky high school classmate Duckie, who has a crush on her. When one of the rich and popular kids at school, Blane, asks Andie out, it seems too good to be true. As Andie starts falling for Blane, she begins to realize that dating someone from a different social sphere is not easy.

To date, the band has done shows for Wilco, Fiona Apple, Fleetwood Mac, Prince, Frank Zappa and Dirty Dancing Live. In addition to club shows, the band is available for house concerts, festivals and parties, Their appearances at the London Underground Pub Wake-Up Call in Blacksburg are special occasions for the community at large.
Roanoke Times columnist Tad Dickens describes the band as "the most talented musicians in Blacksburg".
