Aeysh, Bogu Ishan, Zia, Andhu, Ishantey coughed up the 50 rufias per hour rent for Tharaboozuge practice room. Over the years, with many line-up changes, studios, jail sentences, wives kids, the current lineup of Ablo Arif, Zia, Andhu, Ishantey and Ahmed Jones found time to get together in Zia’s Bedroom/Studio. The First album Furolhu was recorded in in-between 2000 and 2001. Furolhu is a collection of tracks old and new, that were composed through out the 15 odd years that the band has been together.
