The band is associated with "The Yellow Movement," described as “a creative movement to affect positive change and spread happiness and joy, all while wearing yellow, the colour of sunshine.” [4] The band headlined the March into Pitlochry Festival in 2016, [5] and along with seven other bands took the 'Yellow Movement' [6] to the Zandari Festa festival in Seoul, South Korea in October 2017 [7] and the DMZ Peace Train Music Festival below the border of North Korea in late June 2018.
