The music they play is rather different from other ska-punk bands. Their live shows are, as well as being immensely enjoyable music-wise, a spectacle on a grande scale. As well as humorous banter between members, they are a dancing band. In a time when it's 'uncool' to dance (excluding 'moshing' and 'skanking'), these guys have real moves on stage. Even better they seem to do it as a parody of the 'Britney-pop' generation, yet still put so much into it, they make it enjoyable on a purely visual level, rather than being a simple spoof. As of late May 2005, Aaron Bertram, the trumpet player, left the band to marry his fiancé. He was replaced by a trumpet player named Luis Beza. They appeared on the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon with special guest Vince Walker, a former bandmate, on September 4, 2005 for the third year in a row. It was Tim Maurer's final performance with the band, as he left sometime in September 2005. He was replaced by former trumpet player Vince Walker, who returned to the band in the same performance.
