“B.B. King laid quite a simplistic statement on me: Learn to play what you want to hear. When you’re trying to learn an instrument, chances are you find yourself at the feet of a teacher who may have an idea of what you should learn. But if you learn to play what you want to hear in your head, you are steps ahead,” said Gibbons.

The talented trio started with a blues-inspired rock. They later incorporated new wave, punk rock and dance-rock by using synthesizers.

Their songs have a reputation for containing funny lyrics bound with ironic statements and insinuation.
