Jason Dinges was going through an extremely difficult period in his life. He would find himself feeling cold, sick, and depressed at least 35% of every week. This ultimately resulted in the acts of trading livestock aggressively online, and stuffing copious amounts of inanimate objects up his ass. Many of Jason's organs were not pleased with his actions, thus resulting in a bitter and painful conflict.

Klesha is sanskrit for what can be translated into english as an
internal conflict.

When all of the members are able to get together and actually play in the same state, we try to be a part of as many shows as much as poll-see-bull.



For a free, crap-quality, strip-tease, and altogether surreal live video of Klesha, e-mail Klesha's contact (Nate).

Music is meant to be heard by all who can or care to listen. If you have internet access - download it. One should support the music they enjoy when and wherever it may be.

*Copyright infringment tends to leave a bitter taste in the mouth of the music industry,
so enjoy the illegal distribution of free sound (via the internet) while it lasts.

Right now the answer would be no. If a label were to be interested in Klesha in the future, our decision would depend on the respectability of the label, and the band's overall status at that point in time.

When the members of Chaac Mool came to the conclusion that they had to put an end to the death and destruction that they had once created, Matt (gitter) and Nate (bassgitter) decided to start something else. Matt was finishing his senior year at Wakefield private school for poopfaces, while Nate was busy being a junior roinuj at Lord Fairfax Community College (both schools are located in VA). While at school one day, Nate met a sissy named Jason. During the rigorous sex that followed, Jason began to squeal like a stuck pig. We now had a vocalist, but we still needed a drummer. The drummer who was in Chaac Mool (Chris Rogers) was busy playing gitter in a jazz trio. We tried to play with other drummers, but they just weren't interested in our nonsense. So, Nate (having Chris's drumset at his mercy) started to make a feeble attempt at playing the drums.

We then added a second gitterist named Brad "the granny slut" Sloat. This marked the birth of Klesha. Klesha wrote two songs (The Great Remembering, Unit Motive) and played two shows with a crappy drummer, and no bassist. Nate then met a music teacher at Strasburg High School, VA named Artie. Not only was Artie a real fink, he also played the drums like a fruit. Now that Klesha was complete, the only problem facing them was that Matt and Jason were both leaving for school in the fall. With this dreary fact in mind, Brad decided to leave Klesha and play full time with his other band, Reflux (refluxsound.com), who is also on soundclick for anyone who wants to check them out. With only a few months left, Klesha played a couple more shows, and recorded their four song demo. The "Bad Mix Demo" was done in less than 8 hours for free by a great friend of Artie's named Tim. Even though Tim had some troubles with the mixing process ("Late Night on the Endangered Species Farm"), we feel that we don't have any room to complain.
Thanks Tim.
