About Me

These days I'm all over the place! While I still consider myself a NY'er, I spend about two weeks of every month in Los Angeles. I first came to LA to work with producer Matt Wallace. He was/is an amazing friend and has been really instrumental in helping develop my project. In a short amount of time I went from writing songs alone in my apartment to writing with some of the biggest names in pop music...Jeff Trott, Michelle Lewis, Brian MacLeod, Eric Schermerhorn, Pete Min, Joe Solo, John O'Brien, Lisa Dietrich, Alex Forbes, Eve Nelson, Nina Ossoff, Dana Calitri, Kathy Sommer, Jennifer Marks, Peter Bliss, Paul Umbach, Kevin Bents, Luke McMaster, Chris Burke-Gaffney, Leo Mellace, and Steve Catizone. The list goes on and on...great songs, great writers, and great friends.The other person who has been really instrumental in the development of this project is producer Paul Umbach. We've written a bunch of songs together and we're currently in the studio recording an EP that's due out this spring!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 6/14/2005
Band Website: kimloren.com
Band Members: BAND MEMBERS WANTED in LA!!! think: old school block party w/Sly, Lenny, Macy, and Nikka. currently looking for keys/guitar/bass/drums to write/record/gig. future pay. great management. send photo/mp3s to MONARCH ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, Attn: Micah McFarlane, 16255 Ventura Blvd, Ste. 1106, Encino, CA 91436 or [email protected]***the NYC musician search has been temporarily suspended. but if you're interested in relocating to LA, hit us up!BAND SEARCH FAQ:HOW DO I APPLY? please send pics and mp3s to [email protected] THIS A PAID GIG? there will be future pay. all to be worked out in a contract.WHO ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? the "real-deal", rockstars, geniuses, the fun, the funky, the fabulous, people I'd like to drink beers with, great writers/players, people sharing a similar vibe/vision, and the terminally ambitious. I think that about sums it up!HOW WILL I KNOW IF I GOT THE GIG? my management will contact you directly.WHAT IF I "LIVE OUT OF TOWN"? that might be a tough one considering rehearsal and gig schedules. it wouldn't be my preference...but if you were "the one", we'd be open to it as long as your commute didn't become an "issue".WHAT'S THE SCHEDULE LIKE? right now I'm only iin town 2 weeks of the month...so we're probably looking at one or two gigs a month and somewhere between 8-20 hours of rehearsal.IS THIS AN ORIGINAL BAND THAT'S DEAL SHOPPING OR A GIGGING BAND THAT MAKES MONEY? well, we're kind of looking to do both. there will definitely be a focus on deal shopping at some point. however, we believe that part of the process will be to put together a great live show and build a strong fan base. once we have that, everyone will get paid - no doubt.IS THERE AN AGE LIMIT? technically...no. realistically...we'll never ask your age but listen to the music, view the pics, feel the vibe, and make the call for yourself...are we a good fit?
Influences: ANYTHING 70's!!! popculture...blaxploitation flix...cleopatra jones - OMG, I love that 'vette!!!. anything with pam grier...architechture and midcentury modern design - we need more EAMES dammit!!! and music music music...old school R&B to 90s modern rock...sly, stevie, prince, rick james, teena/tina (marie AND turner), zepplin, live (soooo under-rated), steve miller, steely dan, AND CAMEO - WORD UP!!! ha ha ha
Sounds Like: SEX, CHAMPAGNE AND CHOCOLATE!
