I've been with the band since 2002 and am one of the original founding members (alongside my brother Ringo Rigney). The band (a 6 piece Funk, Ska, Reggae outfit), uses a mix of outstanding original songs and covers to convey messages of reconciliation, and to protest against injustice towards Aboriginal Australians. Kineman Karma has been acknowledged by the SA Music Industry by winning awards for "Best Indigenous Act" and "Most Popular Indigenous Act" for 2 consecutive years (2004/2005).
I've played guitar on and off since I was about 14, but I didn't start performing in bands until I was 30. (I also played drums, bass and keyboards when I was younger). I was a guitarist in Ngarrindjeri Reggae Band "Rough Image" for 5 years, and played guitar in Rock/Blues cover band "Kougar" for about 3 years while I studied music at Adelaide Uni (CASM).
In my spare time (of which I have very little, due to a full-time job and part-time sole parenting responsibilities), I like to drop demo tracks down at home. The tracks on here are still a bit rough around the edges (and I promise I'll clean them up when I have some time), but check them out and let me know what you think.
All songs on my profile (*except STOLEN Live versions) have been recorded and produced at home and feature me only. I can't afford to pay session muso's, so thank you Digidesign for Pro Tools : )
Anyhow, enjoy the tunes and check back later for the finished products (and maybe more!)...
