They played music that was a mix of funk and soul. Their first album, Sugar Free Allstars, came out in 2003.
Changes and New Sounds
After their first album, the band changed a bit. Andy Moore, the drummer, left the group. Rob Martin then joined as the new drummer.
Later, their guitarist also left. This meant the band became a duo with just Chris and Rob. They released two more albums, Dos Machos and Return of Dos Machos. These albums were for grown-ups.
Making Music for Families
In 2007, the band decided to try something new. They released their first album for children called Dos Ninos. This album was a big hit!
