Band Members: “One Man Band To The Bone!!!”But always looking for a project to join.This is my new page for my music. These songs were written, composed, arranged, preformed, recorded, mixed, and produced entirely by Kevin Berg. With the exception of a killer guitar solo by Brian Falkner on "Here Comes Rain"Instruments used were Synthesizer Guitar via Kevin's Roland VG8 system, 6 String Guitar, 6 String Bass, 4 String Bass, Vocals, Drum Program Layout all by Kevin Berg"Spilt Gravy" (Written in 1998), "Shakey" (Written in 2005), and "Little Dandy" (written in 2001) versions were recorded In Longmont, Colorado in January-March 2006 and "Here Comes Rain" was recorded in Eureka, California 1998. These songs were, to put it bluntly, STOLEN by Strange Eye who are frauds and now passed off as original Strange Eye music to those who don't know any better. I hope you enjoy these Kevin Berg original songs.Kevin Berg has been described as a “brilliant musician and talented song writer” and teacher. “…skilled at playing guitar, bass, drums and just about anything. He is a solid bass Phenomenon!!!” “A former member of Lonesome peddler, Goliath, ½ session, Off The Handle, Viddikis, Formerly Known As, Fractal, Phoenix Rising, Icabud, and Strange Eye, you will enjoy this musician’s captivating one of a kind style.”Kevin was born in California. He got his first guitar at age nine and has played in bands ever since. His roots are in the blues, but the range of genres this artist can play is vast and he tries not to limit himself. Kevin’s inspiration did not come as easy as for him as did some other blues men. He wasn’t born into poverty and had no real catastrophic events happened to inspire his music, so he stopped taking Prozac, backed his car over his dog, ran off his woman, sabotaged his car so it wouldn’t work, told off his boss, ate hamberger sushi, and rubbed lemon juice in his eyes. While in this state of dispare and clinging to his guns and bible, the stream of music that followed was magic as the world had never seen. His loves all music as long as it is played well and with passion.Kevin rocks hard and being as it is, he takes his responsibility to rock seriously. He has been known nod off while playing guitar late into the night and wake up still playing. He gets up everyday before the crack of noon to do rock squats and spend endless amounts of time in front of the mirror deciding on just the right t-shirt to wear to the gig. After intense research at the institute of Alice Cooper, Kevin found there are no more gimmicks left to exploit short of lighting his vomit aflame on stage and kicking it into the first few rows… but I think Marilyn Manson already did that. Kevin once said, "I used to go through roadies like hotcakes. In those days you shake a tree and seven roadies fell out, you know what I’m saying? And in my show back then I used to shag my amplifier during the stage show and the roadies would get smashed trying to hold up the stacks from behind. I always kept some roadies back there too because at every show no matter where we were there would be a fight that spilled on the stage from the pit, and usually involving the singer. Well one guy one night got a lot of momentum from a swift boot to the head, and he flew face first into my bass. Well I just pushed right back and kicked him in the ass which shoved his head through the speaker while my roadies kicked the back of it." Kevin said, "I guess they don’t have roadies anymore. They call them all guitar technicians now. I wonder what they call groupies? Sex therapists? Band-aids? Band AIDS? It brings a new meaning to the phrase, "Can I come on your tour bus?"Kevin stirred controversy in a recent interview where he criticized some artists who remake old 50’s songs with hip hop beats and rap over the verse then sing the chorus. He said, “What's the problem? Their brains are so clogged with bong resin that they can’t come up with original creative ideas?” Kevin spends his days volunteering at the local musicians shelter helping old air guitar junkies from throwing out a hip by doing such moves as the “Axle Skank,” “Pit Boot kick,” “Head Bang,” “Hessian Stance,” "Power Slide,” and the “Infamous Bass Toss.”He is currently is spearheading the intervention for those afflicted with “Guitar Hero” syndrome a new disorder which causes its victim to believe they are actually playing the guitar in a band. Some musicians with “Guitar Hero” syndrome have had such delusions of granger and such confidence that they would enter into a guitar duel with the devil and lose their soul at the crossroads.
