"We draw inspiration and energy from people around us. We believe in ourselves as artists and enjoy what we do... because only then will others believe in us and enjoy what we do for them. Elements of our performances include spontaneity, passion, angst, soulful expressions and a visual and sonic experience taking the audience and us as well to a special place at that moment in time... It doesn't matter if we're playing for a thousand people or five, if we're famous or not... We dwell on the fine boundary line of being a working cover band and an original artist and it is not an easy task, but we love what we do and we have fun doing it!" - Kaktooz
