The band formed in 1985 as a group of singers and dancers with a couple of busted guitars and flour tins for drums.
[1] The members are Bininj (the indigenous people of West Arnhem Land) and they sing in the Kunwinjku language and in English, trying to reach across the cultures[2] and to pass their knowledge from one generation to another.
[5] They have performed with the Darwin Symphony Orchestra and Yothu Yindi, supported Midnight Oil and played with Silverchair and Powderfinger on their Across the Great Divide national tour.
[8] In 2001 the group featured in the Nganampa Anwernekenhe series, in an episode titled Nabarlek, produced by Central Australian Aboriginal Media Association (CAAMA) Productions and directed by Beck Cole.
