I'd like to meet:

KID BLUDO hails from Clifton Park, New York. The band’s current lineup was brought together by Jim O’Brien in 2005 to record and promote a new evolution of melodic rock, drawing upon the 1980’s metal genre for its influence. All members of the group are professional musicians with years of experience performing, writing, and recording in the rock arena. KID BLUDO has just released its first full length CD- “UP & AWAY”. The album contains 10 dynamic, hard, pounding tunes. The band set out to create a work for the original fans of 80’s rock, as well as new fans who are hungry for a fresh sound with a familiar feel The songs present a new flavor to 80’s rock. The traditional components are all there. They are melodic, soulful, powerful, soft, and loud. The transition and feeling between these dynamic parts creates a memorable listening experience. Coupled with precise engineering, it gives birth to the new sound that KID BLUDO wanted. The band influences range from groups like Queensryche, Dokken, and Dream Theatre, to Boston, Journey, and Rush. This work pays homage to these great bands and many more. There are great individual performances on this album, yet the band’s philosophy remains in the forefront: the song is the star. KID BLUDO features Chuck Woodard and Jennifer Herbs on lead vocals. Chuck’s soulful, powerful, wide range, along with Jennifer’s pristine and sometimes haunting voice, create a perfect match where “man meets woman in the metal”. Jim O’Brien is the band’s guitarist and keyboardist. He possesses the innate ability to write memorable and meaningful riffs. Jim plays the guitar with noticeable feeling, ranging from slow and soulful to powerful, blazing speed. Donny Howland plays drums for the band and sets the dynamic mood for this album. He does a masterful job with the demanding time changes and creates the fluidity that makes this album tick. KID BLUDO will be spending most of their time in the near future promoting the “UP & AWAY” album. Judging from the feedback KID BLUDO has received so far, the project has generated a lot of positive interest among both 80’s rock fans and new fans alike.
