This morning a small group of band members set aside their instruments and picked up a paintbrush! 🎨🖌

Under guidance from the artists of @commandojugendstil they took part in a community mural painting project based in Katesgrove, the ancestral home of the band! We can't wait to see the finished mural and are very proud to have been included! 🎶🎵
