The four-piece band was booked for a US tour supporting <a href="spotify:artist:4hFguSNiDDWFzkdaxoBYF7" data-name="Black Joe Lewis">Black Joe Lewis</a>. However, just weeks before the tour, two band members exited, prompting Jankovich and Kurniawan to adapt their set into a "Power Duo" format, utilizing a laptop to fill out their sound.
