Here’s another one - Single Handed Sailor  :)

Wow this one is really good. Excellent recording also, soundboard? Played with good punch, nice new lick and really good feel. I am really impressed  as I am almost never by Cover bands. I understand you are not a cover band per se? You could tour with this.

I agree with LE, you make the songs 'your own' and love the 'new' licks added to make them your own. Very impressive and the sound is mind blowing - well done!!

And what a good song Single Handed Sailor is!

I am just about to put the CD in and hear it LOUD! again. 😅 Always loved the transition of the song into Follow Me Home. Together with Portobello Belle the most intense part of the album.

You really nailed the end solo playing out. This is a band I would go and buy a ticket for.

Listened once more to R&J and SHS. You know, a good index for cover bands is the cringe factor. With this one: zero. Now we want Sultans and Calling Elvis.

Im sitting here very overwhelmed by your positive comments! Thank you very much!

For me as a fan, playing this music with the band I'm in really gives me another level of gratitude and deep respect for the way MK writes songs and plays guitar. And on top of it all I'm so glad I'm not giving LE the cringe  ;D

This was the first time we played it live for people and now I really want to do it more to see how it goes. This was also the first time I used a Kemper Stage instead of a real amp. Amazing tool but it sure does need a lot of work, and I learned a lot about what not to do. Unfortunately my sound for SOS came out totally different than what i expected, so I must have done something weird :smack But its a first for everything  :)

Someone asked if this was a soundboard recording, and it is. But simply a stereo out from the mixing desk. My stepfather placed one camera filming the entire stage and used another camera to do more "close ups".

Thank you again! :)


But here is a little proof that we did SOS  ;D
