UPRISING was produced with our friend and mentor Charlie Mclenehan. Charlie is a legendary producer (when he's not fronting his band, Mr Feelix who are also legendary, check them out!!)A Music Site produced a short rockumentary of the adventure and a music video to accompany 'Time By Myself' Check the media player and the blog for previews and updates. Keep listening and watching, - our website is undergoing a refurbishment at the moment, so for the time being myspace is the place to stay up to date!!! Photos, lyrics, biog, videos, etc. are still available @: www.kiyomori.co.uk
