Hail the Sound

I purchased the Adobe production premium software bundle. My pockets are empty but I have this killer software. Don't know if I will get the full benifit of this powerful platforme but for now I am delighting in the camera raw update that comes with photoshop CS4. It has enabled me to open a few ".cr2" photos that were taken at the best ever Hail the Sound gig. Me, my sister, brother and cousin had the opertunity to rock together. We're a family band! At least we were, for one shining moment! Now the sibs have gone off to collage and my cuz has been consumed by the City. Cuz is a 911 dispatcher and for the moment has no life outside of the PD. "crrrk we have a 411 on the nothing is blog... over. crrrk". "crrk rodger that. crrk". Side note: one of our other friends on the force was bass player and co conspiritor in ,SMA. SMA was a killer band that I was in some years back the likes of wich the world will never see again. Liten to SMA Here. End side journy. Hail the sound is now pretty much just me, doing my Trent Reznor thing wrighting tons of music and wondering if the world will ever care. At the front part of 2009 Hail had the opertunity to open for Autumns Chase another cool band in which I loved playing drums. End second side note. Here are some cool pics taken by my friend Seth from Hoptocopter at the infamous Hail show earlier this year.

What? The Hail!

Hail the sound is a three piece (for the moment) band from Western Colorado. Rocking in the style of "polka-country-gangsta rap". Hail the sound is every musical genre you despise. Boowhahahahaha! My wife thinks the lead singer is hot so she snapped this picture. HAIL THE SOUND!

HAIL THE SOUND

Hail the sound is my band. I mean, I play in several other great bands but Hail The Sound is my deal. Adam (my cousin at left) has been playing drums for Hail for almost three years. Asylum 9 (my brother Philip at right) has been playing bass for Hail for about five months. We practice every morning (mon-fri) at 7am. I love playing and writing music. I shot this quick pic of hail the other day in my garage while we were loading gear. The random crap in in the background is testament to my crazy life of "american dream meets skateboard, rock-star want to be". One thing is for sure... I hold onto my passions and I find a way to make an unlikely situation work for the best! Ya know..... I wouldn't have it any other way!

What? about kev

I love music. I think I have written some where in the neighborhood of 50 songs in the last two years. I am always trying to get better. I am always fighting frustration. My biggest project is myself. I don't want to pass my frustration on to my kids. I use everything in my life as motivation. I am trying to relax. I enjoy a glass of cabernet to assist, but I will never rely on wine to relax. I believe there is more. I think God is different, bigger, better than church. I think we know less than we could imagine. I have no desire to argue religion or politics... I'll right a song and crank it to 11! I have no person on a pedestal. I am very thankful. I take nothing for granted. I am perplexed by the shortness of life. I am looking forward to not worrying. I want to build a vert ramp and catch big backside airs! I want to spend more time with my kids. I want to snowboard more with my wife. I want to tour the world. I want to play concerts at all the great venues. I want to discard bad habits and form new good practices.
