The result is an upbeat, unpredictable, original sound that has been packing dance floors consistently for more than three years. Themasses have shared the stage with some incredible players including Animal Liberation Orchestra (ALO), Garaj Mahal, Lotus, The Herbaliser, Fareed Haque and the legendary Mike Reno (Loverboy) among many others.
