TIMBALAND x KEYS N KRATES PICS

Our night opening for Timbaland was a fun night for us. That particular show we all had a good time on stage and felt everything came together for us musically. Tune had just added some new synth drums to his kit and we were eager to see how they'd sound on the big speakers.

TIMBALAND x KEYS N KRATES @ Sound Academy, Toronto


Tmrw night in Toronto we open up for Timbaland. I'm really curious to see just what type of show this genius puts on. I've always been huge fan. As for us.. you can be sure we're coming with our A game. "d d durty durtaaayy"

R.I.P. TEDDY


I know I'm super late on this, but I haven't been blogging a ton lately. Anyways, R.I.P. one of the most soulful voices Teddy Pendergrass. He has so much great music it's hard to even scratch the surface, but in an attempt to barely scratch the surface, here's a live performance of one of my favorite songs of his. He will be greatly missed.

KEYS N KRATES X LUNICE IN MONTREAL

KEYS N KRATES INVADES VANCOUVER


We haven't been to play in Vancouver (one of our favorite cities) in a minute. We are conveniently rocking there during the Olympic hoopla in Feb. Should be a fun one. I'm really looking forward to eating sushi every single meal.

MAYER HAWTHORNE (AKA DJ HAIRCUT) GONE DIGGIN...


This dude had one of my favorite albums of 2009. He really really put it down. Amazing song writing, arrangements, the recording, very authentic but still very fresh. Anyways here's a video of him diggin for records going back to his D.J. roots as D.J. Haircut. Coincidentally we just jammed a really cool remix of his "Shiny And Blue" song in rehearsal the other day. Maybe that will be heard soon. Hmmmmm.

R.I.P. DAVID "SOULFINGAZ" WILLIAMS


Last night in Toronto, I had chance to go and pay my respectz at a memorial party to a very talented musician that just recently left the world. David "Soulfingaz" Williams was very much the man around town who all us other keyboard players looked up to. Fastest playing style I've ever seen. I have some cherished memories sharing the stage with him and witnessing his ridiculous talent up close. Soulfingaz my man, you will be missed by all of us. Thanks for the memories and the knowledge.
