After spending 18 weeks on the CMJ Top 40 charts and having their single "Downside" added to over 170 radio stations nationwide, Klank formed a strong fan base with their constant touring and growing reputation for pretty intense live shows. Klank then made its mark once again with their second album, "Numb", released through their own label SmokeDogg Productions with distribution through Progressive Arts Music. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------Klank has broken musical boundaries with a sound that is best described as Dancy Aggressive Dark Electronically Influenced Groove. Melody is prevalent within deep layers of guitars, keyboards, samples, live and programmed drums. Deep heartfelt, introspective lyrics that express a longing for inner peace, emotional mood swings, bitterness, despair and even elements of hope and happiness are wrapped up in the musical landscape. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------- Writing music is a form of therapy that helps to release bottled up frustrations and emotions that otherwise have no outlet. "We write music that we feel comes from deep down inside and a lot of people can relate to them because they are all based on real life situations and emotions. We all deal with issues in our lifetime and here is our chance to vent those issues", explains Diolosa. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------- Klank consists of Daren "Klank" Diolosa (ex - Circle Of Dust & Argyle Park) on vocals, guitars & keys, Pat Servedio on guitar, keys, & programming, Danny Owsley on guitars & backing vocals and John "JMF" Zaletel on drums & percussion.------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------- The sophmore release "Numb" was recorded, engineered, produced, mixed & mastered by the band at their own studio, 54, recording facility. NUMB showcased KLANK keeping true to their trademark sound, while also showing much maturity from that of their debut, which includes the single "Blind" which again made it into the top 40 on the CMJ charts. A video was also filmed for "Blind" which has become a regular fixture on the Much Music channel.---------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ---- Following Numb, Diolosa contributed vocals to the song "Silhouette of Rage" on AP2's lone album, Suspension of Disbelief. KLANK then appeared on a 1980s metal compilation and contributed their cover version of "I'll Wait" to "Running with the Devil- a Tribute to Van Halen " which were both released by Progressive Arts Media. Their version of "I'll Wait" was hailed in numerous reviews as "The only reason anyone should even consider buying this CD". ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------- Despite rumors, Klank never announced any breakup, but instead they had chose to fly low under the radar. KLANK had not "officially" released any new music since 2000 and he has since worked as the Transportation Manager - Welder / Fabricator for Ringling Bros, Barnum & Bailey Circus.----------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------- Pat & John still run their EmpireMusic studio in new York and have worked alot producing and engineering in the hip hop / R & B world. Ducci runs an Auto Parts store and has continued to play guitar in the San Jose music scene. "I've launched this klanknation MySpace page as a vehichle to post several of the songs that have been recorded since Numb. I'm not dead and gone and neither is KLANK, but just like fine wine........... It wont be served before it's time"....................................................... ............................................................ ............................................................ .......................................... And that time is NOW!!!!!!!! The newest release from KLANK titled "In Memory Of..." Was Unleashed at Cornerstone Festival on June 27 where KLANK peformed their First show in over 6 yrs. The show was actually part of a Day Long Metal Tribute to a close friend of the band named Zach who had passed away earlier in the year. The show went great and the new music was well received. "We had a great time playing again and getting a chance to hang out with alot of old friends" stated Diolosa. Just for the record, "In Memory Of..." Is NOT the final offering from KLANK. In fact the band has begun working on newer material as well as rumors of a Re-recorded / Re-vamped version of Numb surfacing at some point in the Future. Untill that time, we'll just have to sit back and enjoy the classic KLANK sound found within "In Memory Of..." to tide us over. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------

And i've been really into the whole "MASH UP" Thing for a while. Just the thought of combining 2 songs that are totally opposite in every way possible and basically splicing them together to form a totally different bastard of a creation.........................That ends up somehow sounding awesome.Life is too short to remain in just 1 musical box, The idea is to branch out and expose yourself to as many flavors of audible enlightenment that you can.Klank is influenced by life, How it is seen, how it affects us and how it affects those around us...............whether it be it good or bad
