Jason Kerrison, the lead member of the group, appeared on The Masked Singer NZ as a tuatara, winning the first season.

In 2011, Kerrison built a bunker after watching the 2009 film 2012 . He said that John Cusack's performance was convincing, causing him to think the end of the world was near. [9]
