Hello, children. If you're a cultural progressive with no interest in actually impressing anyone (as if anyone embodies such divergent urges), then hold on to your horses, because Kecak's second album, A Better Way To Lose Sleep, is done and ready to hit the streets. Head on over to the MP3 page for a song or two to wet your appetite. 

The album will be delivered to the public in person on 11.14.04 at Charm City Art Space. Can't recall who we're playing with, but it's going to be a lotta fun.

Your musical influences

Seb is listening to the Jesus & Mary Chain. 
Dan is listening to the Arcade Fire. 
Mike is listening to the Monks. 

Our drummer isn't under warranty anymore. But you can kick him across the stage and he doesn't miss a beat.

Anything else?

Heaven is like total stardom with a constant-touring clause, nothin’ but arenas and hotels, but Hell is like Baltimore.

-Lester Bangs, from "Death May Be Your Santa Claus: An Exclusive, Up-To-Date Interview with Jimi Hendrix"



I asked my friend James Marshall if he thought the current dismal state of music was likely to improve. “No,” he said. “It’s got to get worse, because everybody’s into their own thing and doesn’t wanna know. Pretty soon every band will have no more than three fans, and nobody will have even any friends. Then after that you’ll start resenting the other guy because he likes the same thing you like: it’s your turf! How dare he encroach? So then people will start killing each other for appropriating each other’s musical tastes and thus infringing on the neighbor’s hipness space. How can you be smug about being the only person in the world cool enough to appreciate some piece of New Wave shit, or a blues band or arcane jazz artist for that matter, if you find out somebody else likes it? Don’t dare tell ‘em! Don’t even tell your wife or girlfriend! Keep it safe inside your Walkman!

-Mr. Bangs once more, from "Bad Taste Is Timeless"
