first video(music to a documentary) Keeftowne Blend !our only actual video! last update 07/04/08
Holy krap, it has been 4 months since the last update and so here we go with a new photo finally. As you can see we are trying to convince Marqui that he is in the band as he shuffles to and fro. It appears that we will have to work on him some more. New video in the works surrounding Tumblin' Tumbleweeds, and their recent travels. New album with all new songs has also begun production. Meanwhile, there are still a few copies of Trail Songs left and we'll keep making more.
Oh, here it is now. What a coincidence.
Our newest album, Trail Songs has 15 selections that span a century of American music, from the well known to the underground. Most have been recomposed by Keeftowne Blend and hardly resemble themselves in their original form. Updated as it were.
So if you like it and are curious enough to plunk down $10.00USD for it...
Keeftowne Blend was formed and the blues world will never be the same, EVER!
The "Blend" as they are fond of calling themselves play all acoustic music because it is easier. Easier to play, easier to learn, and easier to move from venue to venue. Big kit drummers always complain. They carry one drum, one scrub board and one maraca.
Keeftowne Blend plays all cover songs that have been overlooked by time for generations. Many of the recordings they have discovered are so messed up that the music is unhearable. Therefore these songs have all been recomposed by Keeftowne Blend. The band performs under the banner of Treehouse Productions® and all songs are in the public domain and will remain there even under our label for now. So be it!
Johnny Keefe is the singer-keyboardist and the guy who looks up all the obscure music in their reportoir and writes down the words. He performs solo under the name "Spacerust" and also sings with Jet Drive-in.
Marqui Qeef is the shy one who sings back-up and drums on occasion. Real trooper that one.
Brian Keefe(no relation) plays bass live, can dress himself and does the bulk of the music composition on guitar. His rock solid rhythm allows the band to get "all funky" and lose themselves in the moment knowing that good old Brian will be there with the engine running awaiting their return, not missing a beat. He has played in numerous bands and has played the L.A. club circuit, so there.
Stacey Kief is the guitar player-sound engineer, recording director, and has his own truck. He has his hands on too many projects to list. It is amazing that he finds anytime at all to help Billy with that "last missing chord" which makes the song work.
Session men on Trail Songs include Jefte Keefarone on guitar and Marqui Queef on back-up vocals. All members have worked together on Dumpsterpiece Theatre and dumptv which are famous in their own right via dumptv.com.
They currently have three songs on YouTube. The first is a documentary on miniature electric chair construction and is linked here and this one is an animated farcial performance by the group and the link is somewhere around...oh here it is. The third one is the above promotion of the aforementioned album.
