About Me

Arika Kaosa and backing band The Brethren are back with a new album titled, "Severance", released on March 17th, 2009. Get ready for vulgarity, glamour, headwalking, dance offs, and pure chaos to ensue. AK$TB! are back and ready to tear everything apart. Don't forget to bring your air horn!
"Arika Kaosa is a well known renaissance woman in a world of conformity. A social scene staple on the west coast and midwest, Arika Kaosa takes a fun-loving attitude with her on every conquest and adventure. AK is known as the main songwriter and vocalist in the band Arika Kaosa and The Brethren (AK$TB!). AK$TB! are recognized as unabashed talent around the world. AK has received critical acclaim time and time again for substantial lyricism in every song. A reverend, storm chaser, and ex-semi-professional tennis player, the talent is endless. AK has been in independent films such as Punk Rock Holocaust and has been featured in publications such as the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Maximum Ink, Shepherd Express, MKE, and BackDraft. AK has also been a part of festivals like the Vans Warped Tour, Bamboozle Left, and Summerfest. Watch for the Oakland, CA native's new release, "Severance". - Stretcher Magazine
"Drawing vocal influence from Janis Joplin, funk sensibility of James Brown, brutality of hardcore, and entrancing back drops from electronic music, Arika Kaosa and her live band The Brethren are definitely a band to watch for in the next few years." - BackDraft Magazine
"Arika Kaosa will be known, in the future, as one of the best lyricists of the millennial generation." – Paste-In The Cut
"Finally, music without cleche lyrics!" - Boston Bubblegum
"Arika Kaosa is a female form of Ian Curtis...the parallels are stunning." - Cubit Blog
"During the song, "Violence, Please", Arika Kaosa took a wireless microphone, jumped off stage, and started singing while dancing on the bar. It didn't take long for others to join her and make it look like we were all at an alternative Coyote Ugly bar." - Denial Magazine
