Once upon a time.... - Kevala - 07-02-2017

Thanks, Tragically Hip, for being my inspiration to get on stage and play. We started playing in 1996-97. I was introduced to my two favorite bands at this time; the doors and the Tragically Hip. These two bands possessed me. I absorbed this energy and power. My desire manifested a new band for this earth.

Here are two of our original songs I had recorded in random bars in the U.S.

This song is called Gray Day. A perfect, subconscious, bar song where people can still talk and play pool while enjoying the music. <a class="postlink" href="https://youtu.be/qgUFssveKOA">https://youtu.be/qgUFssveKOA</a>

And this song is called Insecurity. I enjoyed playing the drums on both of these songs. They have lots of space for creative, improvisational drum playing which I take full advantage of. <a class="postlink" href="https://youtu.be/W41zEC9Au-0">https://youtu.be/W41zEC9Au-0</a>

Enjoy!!

I like the sound of that guitar, very nice. Enjoyed your unique drumming style too reminded me of early Floyd.

One guitar, one bass, one drum-set, one singer. Pretty rich sound.

Do you play music?

These videos are fond memories of a time when my creativity was peaking. And thanks for the compliment. Most drummers we toured with did not like the way I played. Since I couldn't up and dance like Gord on stage, I played the drums like I was painting the music. Throwing, splashing colors around.

Music is so fluid, a dream-state where I can read the minds of others. I can push and pull Power. I can then use this wisdom to spark insights. {Goes hand in hand with Vedic knowledge (Ishaya monks)}.

Ok, Kevala gotta admit, I clicked on the link wondering what crazy ass shit I was going to hear.......have to say I'm pleasantly surprised, that's some great stuff. "Insecurity" has a great sound to it, makes me think what it would sound like if Pink Floyd and Pearl Jam ever played together.

Keep it up, great sound!

Every day, guitar mostly but anything with strings works for me.

Re: Kevala's band - Kevala - 07-25-2017

Awesome.... The guitar player Eric has my old drums now. He plays them and I told him that once he started learning them he'd never go back to guitar. But he said that the guitar is his tool because he mostly likes songwriting. I love stringed instruments too.

I uploaded another one of our songs to Youtube today. It has a tribute to Gordon Edger Downie "He who walks among the stars" at the end.
