Their follow-up single "Hellephant" won them a Best Independent Canadian Music Video award, as well as collaborative opportunities with Calgary FanExpo, Calgary Public Libraries, CCMAs, CJSW, and other Canadian organizations. They are now doing everything they can to rock the Calgary scene as they prepare for the release of their second LP. Categorically ubiquitous, audiences will find themselves steadily surprised by what comes next, the only constant being that no one will be standing still.
