..We are a rock and roll band from McCook, NE. Our name was inspired by lyrics from the great John Lennon. We started playing together a couple years back and we're still growing and evolving as musicians and people to this day. Koby and I had been playing together since we were 14 or 15. I can still remember those nights way back in the day. Just me and him with our acoustics writing tunes and trying to sing and write melodies that went along with them. At some point in that time frame, we started our first real band, called Sixty Ninth Amendment. We had a great run, Sixty Nine did. Then our drummer Tony Bieck chose to go down a different path than the rest of us and for that reason we ended up breaking up. So there was no band for a while after that. Then Koby and Paiz started jamming with Max Kugler and eventually formed a new group. I was asked to be a part of the group and throw in some lead guitar. Quickly a dynamic songwriting team emerged, Blake/ Carlon. We wrote a bunch of tunes and played a few shows and people seemed to dig it. Everything was great until Max had to leave the band, which kind of threw a fork in the whole operation. We had a couple different dudes try out to take his place but they didn't quite fit the mold or sound. Jared Bailey, however was playing drums for a band called American D.U.I. at the time. For being a youngin, he could sure play the damn drums. His band didn't quite agree, so we said "Not a problem" and snatched him right up and got back to work writing songs. We wrote a bunch more tunes and played some more shows. Then, it was about that time to record our first album. We recorded it in January 2008 with our good friend Vic Giron. He brought his recording equipment over to my house and we threw it down in the basement and added all types of extra instruments and vocals and just really had fun with it. It's been a long, winding road to get to where we are now, but we're just getting started... Be on the look out for Kaleidoscope shows in the near future near you!
peace out!
