ROCK journals Episode: the Kin

logo

Get ready for a Rocking ROCKjouranls Episode with one of the great Australian bands in the world! THE KIN!

I caught up with the guys a little bit before the show in their dressing room bathroom, where I do most of my interviews because it’s the only quietest room with good lightening in the whole venue. haha

I’d met one of the guys a while back and ended up checking out one of their shows.
Now here it is a few years later and a different name, The KIN, and we all meet again! I saw their live show on Saturday and I was blow away! The vocals are so beautiful and the blend of guitar, and piano, with cello and violin all accompanied by the most kik ass drummer in the world (who doesn’t use drums sticks might I add) just left me speachless!

We talked about the record, and a few other things. Stay in touch for Air Date right here on ROCKjournals.com!


Other ROCK jouranal bathroom victims:

-The Shys

-Rocco Deluca

-Imajine

-Panic! at the Disco (haha don’t I wish!)

anddddd I think that’s about it.

I saw Jello Biafra at the 449 Room in Trenton NJ on March 4, 2007 and it changed my life.
I found some videos on YouTube.com u can watch of him. This is from his 2007 Spoken Word Tour… actually from the Lancaster, Pa show the night right after the Trenton Show. (Do yourself a favor a WATCH these Videos)

Jello’s also got Spoken Word cd’s I recommend checking out.
For those of you who don’t know, Jello Biafra was “the lead singer and songwriter for San Francisco punk rock band the Dead Kennedys. After his time with the band concluded, he became a political activist and founded the influential record label, Alternative Tentacles. He continued as a musician in numerous collaborations and as a spoken word artist. Politically, he is a member of the
Green Party
and actively supports progressive political causes.” (Source Wikipedia)
