CHECK OUT KiteTheBand.com FOR RELEASE INFORMATION AND PERFORMANCE DATES.
KITE’s humble beginnings as a studio band in 1994 evolved into an ambitious touring act in the year 2000 and has since been offering up an intense, passionate and full bodied rock experience that critics have called “Awe inspiring!” Brian Tripplett, Eastern Washington University Review; “Powerfully expressive. Postitively riveting.” John Collinge, Progression Magazine.
When Monte Thompson (vocals and acoustic guitar), Michael Koep (drums and bass) and Scott Clarkson released their first album (Gravity, 1997) they didn’t expect that the project would launch them into a ten plus year history of writing, performing and enduring craftsmanship. Mark Rakes (bass guitar) joined in 2006 and has rounded out the quartet. KITE has built a reputation for the care they put into their records and the concentrated force of their performances. KITE songs are in every way unique, urgent, important and substance driven. Like their fans, KITE endeavors for themes and melodies that inspire and move. And for their fans, they deliver.--Biography by Robert Ferris, 2006
