Well – they have played with everyone else except for themselves… until now.
So let us introduce bRONk. Music somewhere between gospelfunk, zappa-psydecho, rockabilly-jazzrock and just simple good and clever instrumental-pop. Judge yourself. bRONk is happy and hope that they can be a band that keeps on playing at least 25 years from now.
