KBD is not a jam band.
It is a decentralized funk apparatus.
Formed in a basement with too many keyboards and not enough outlets. The trio operates on a single principle: tight execution, loose inhibition, and a gear-to-gig ratio that concerns our families.
KBD is a modular system. We patch in the region's best musicians, provided they can tolerate our volume and our opinions about cable management.
Every track in the vault can be re-broadcast through Retroizer — a machine that takes our music and plays it back from mid-July 1988, over the PA, in the toy aisle at Kmart.
Is it the same song? Legally, yes. Spiritually, it is now coming from a ceiling speaker thirty feet away while someone pages a manager. We did not need this technology. We use it constantly.
Free. External. Unsupervised. KBD LLC accepts no liability for nostalgia-related incidents, phantom Icee cravings, or sudden awareness of time's passage. The Bureau denies everything.
Debut performance. We've been rehearsing long enough that our neighbors have opinions about our setlist. Date incoming — get on the list before we sell out (or more likely, before we set up too many keyboards and run out of stage).
Raw, unfiltered studio broadcasts. No polish. No safety net. No idea what key we're in until the second chorus. Inform on us. We will inform back.
