Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground (Offical Thread)

[chipdip18]

A project featuring two members of Gatsbys American Dream. They release their first full-length, a self-titled early this year, and plan to release a second one very soon. Discuss away. www.myspace.com/kaykayunderground (http://www.myspace.com/kaykayunderground)

[DanceJamesDance]

Me Gusta. Seen 'em twice and they are very very solid live.

[chipdip18]

I have the DVD but i haven't seen them live yet. I missed them with RX Bandits and Portugal. The Man, such a bummer. That's good news though! How many people were on stage?

[DanceJamesDance]

The first time I saw them it was in a lil' cafe in Portland and only 4 of them could fit on stage the violinists, piano and cello player were all in the crowd. It was such a great, intimate show though. This last time they were at a pretty popular venue and were reallly good. I don't remember seeing the violinists this past time though. Maybe I just wasn't paying attention. I believe the first time I saw them there were 2 violinists, cello (also the trumpet player), pianist, lead vox/guitar, guitar, bass, drums, female vox/percussion and I believe that was it haha

[chipdip18]

Wow that is so awesome. I'd love to see one of their shows live.

[chipdip18]

You excited for the next album?

[weeberteeoatser]

Then you better be satisfied with vinyl cause as far as I know they only have it either digital or vinyl. I have the vinyl and digital. Digital for my ipod and vinyl for at home. I just need a new record player dangit!

[Dr. Acula]

[Dr. Acula]

I'll check it out tonight. If I dig what I hear, I'll buy it. Thanks for the offer though man, appreciate it :-) . I just have a guilty conscience. I dont DL much, at all.

Hey no worries, just makes you a better man haha.

[Anthony Lutz]

Honestly, I like GAD a lot more, and since I've only listened to this band's album once, I think it'll take more time before I really get into this band. Not saying they're bad, they just aren't as catchy as GAD was upon first listen.

Haha you really can't compare GAD and Kay Kay.

[Anthony Lutz]

Haha you really can't compare GAD and Kay Kay.

I know... But it's one of those things that no matter what members of an old band are in, they are kind of guilty by association as far as being compared to what they write now. Especially since two members of GAD are in this band.

Yeah, true, but the sounds are so different! Oh well.

[Anthony Lutz]

Yeah, true, but the sounds are so different! Oh well.

That's why I'm not giving up on them ;-)

[chipdip18]

That's why I'm not giving up on them ;-)


Woo! Good.

[christopher™]

do they have anything else besides the live stuff?

[chipdip18]

A full length album.

[DanceJamesDance]

"Oh Mama I'm such a selfish bastard..."

They have never played that song the same way twice. Haha both live times it was different and on the full length and live DVD it's different.

[Saves The Night]

these guys are rockin out!

[DanceJamesDance]

:-|

[drudo182]

Kirk is amazing. I love this band and listened to the record today. Can never get enough.

[Keagan Ilvonen]

Kay Kay is legit, but I wish Gatsby's would get back together. Gatsby's > all side projects

[drudo182]

And when their doom ensues, I just want to be with you.

[chipdip18]

Kay Kay is legit, but I wish Gatsby's would get back together. Gatsby's > all side projects


Gatsbys had a really great run, and i seriously doubt they'll get back together. Let's enjoy the side projects. Kay Kay > all other side projects though.

[Keagan Ilvonen]

idk I like WOC quite a bit too.

[drudo182]

Kay Kay and Search/Rescue are the best.

[recall reality]

I've been spinning the s/t for some time now and it's stuck with me as one of my favorites from this year. I don't really like GAD, but I can dig this.

I would've loved to see them with RXB... lucky west coast kids.

[drudo182]

Seriously, more love for this band.

[chipdip18]

Diggin' is a good song, i can't wait for the second album. So far my AOTY.

[B-Bones]

Kay Kay = <3.

[chipdip18]

Good work.

[flash_gorton]

Hey I'm listening to them right now, I'd like to see them live.

[B-Bones]

Hey I'm listening to them right now, I'd like to see them live.

Fucking INCREDIBLE live band.

[Chris Fallon]

Very cool band. I can't believe Kyle O'Quinn is doing this now. He was such a little punk in high school haha

[Someone'sCoat]

Does anyone have the live DVD? I've seen them three times already but the DVD looks pretty good. Everytime I see them I think about getting it but I'm not sure how good it is. Anyone hear about it at all?

[MetroPanic!Girl]

Bump, lol

[chipdip18]

Great bump! I'm stoked for the upcoming album!

[drudo182]

Me too. Going to be great.

[christopher™]

when will the new album be out?

[eleven eleven]

so how about that new album?

[chipdip18]

WHOA is it out?

[ohshootholler]

i have it and like it. it reminds me of the first time i saw them because the stage is all decorated and everyone is dressed up. when i saw kay kay this summer at block party and with the rx bandits, they didn't do that, so i like having the dvd to be reminded of how fun the first show was. it's not so amazing that you have to order it, though.

[ThisIsNotDan]

I hate GAD. I hate any related projects. not excited for the new album at all. fuck this band

[chipdip18]

Didn't you used to have a Volcano avatar?

[ThisIsNotDan]

Didn't you used to have a Volcano avatar?

[chipdip18]

Atta boy. I was scared there for a bit.

New cd?

[christopher™]

nah the old one.

[pinkzeppelin182]

I'm going to try and make it to as many dates of the MWY/TDH/KKAWU tour I possibly can. Pick up the album in any format. This is a band that definitely deserves the support.
Anyone know what color the vinyl repress will be?

[poi]

mehhh.

gad > kkahwu

though i do enjoy a few songs of the kkahwu record.

New album is streaming on their myspace this Friday

[GunTheVillain]

Just checked out the MySpace link... Really nice stuff dude!

[chipdip18]

I love this band

[ThisIsNotDan]

so excited to hear this

[Feeney]

Listening to it now from their MySpace, sounds pretty good so far.

[chipdip18]

THey're streaming the new album i think

[christopher™]

what did you guys think of the new album?

[anthonydarko]

I haven't listened to this band's music before, riyl?

[Someone'sCoat]

I really am not feeling the new album...and i Love this band. Kind of disappointed.

[chipdip18]

I need to listen to the new album. Baaa

[cryates]

I need a legit copy of the new album now, cause I'm seriously loving it just as much as the S/T which I thought would be impossible to top for me personally.

Oh yeah, and I'm loving my new avatar.

[chipdip18]

I haven't listened to this band's music before, riyl?

I'm really bad at RIYLs, but i would suggest giving them a sincere listen.

[cryates]

Seriously, if you dig Portugal. The Man at all, I'd listen to this band. That band is the only one I could even say is similar to Kay Kay.

[chipdip18]

Which reminds me! THey went on tour. I wanted to go so bad, that would have rocked. But i agree, The Satanic Satanist is similar.

"The Satanic Satanist" and "Introducing..." kind of give off the same stripped back vibe.

[chipdip18]

By the way, your avatar is so awesome i sort of want to steal it. Shoot, Introducing is on the myspace page right?

[cryates]

Thanks man. I saw this pic of Kirk and was like "oh shit, AVATAR!!!".

Yeah it's on myspace, but the quality lacks of course, and the one track is missing, There are supposed to be 11 tracks total, but only 10 are up on the page. I think the one song they left off is basically and instrumental cause it only has two lines of lyrics. Virgil at Vinyl Collective said he was going to talk to the dudes in the band to see if they want to stream it through VC and if so expect much better quality. Hopefully it will be up tomorrow.

Whoa be sure to hit up this thread if/when that happens. That is great news.

[cryates]

Oh no doubt I will. He said he had the tracks already since he knows the band real well, but that he would just have to check and make sure he could put them up on the site. They need to hurry up and put out a digital release like they did with the S/T.

[chipdip18]

Yeah they do. I want a physical copy so bad though, i don't care waht it sounds like haha.

[cryates]

Hey fellow Kay Kay fans, Don't know if anyone cares or not, but I found this page with the album up that loads better than their actual myspace page. It's still myspace, just the whole page loads better..http://music.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=music.singlepl aylist&friendid=122905195

[cryates]

Myspace rip of the new album is "out there"

[chipdip18]

Hahaha well i might wait for a release, we'll see.

[cryates]

The quality isn't, and I'm pissed off they still haven't put up that one track on myspace.

[chipdip18]

Patience!


The new album is so good. Kirk Huffman = one of my favorite songwriters.

[Gardenhead]

I never really listened to them before today but they have some solid tunes. 21st Century Boy in particular is very addictive.

[chipdip18]

Check out the debut as well, definitely a great album, one of my favorites from last year.

[Gardenhead]

Does it have any teeth? Like, is there an edge to it at all?

[Someone'sCoat]

Oh yes. Their debut is an amazing album.

[FullCollaspe]

Just listened to it. Really like it, but it's no self titled for sure.

[chipdip18]

Yeah, i think i like the s/t more, but still it's an album that doesn't do anything wrong/bad.

[FullCollaspe]

Yeah, i think i like the s/t more, but still it's an album that doesn't do anything wrong/bad.

What's your favorite song of the self titled?

[chipdip18]

What's your favorite song of the self titled?

OH my gosh what a hard question haha. 'Hey Momma' is always a good pick, 'Night of the Star Child's Funk', and 'Simon Courage Flees the Coup' are probably my favorite.

[FullCollaspe]

OH my gosh what a hard question haha. 'Hey Momma' is always a good pick, 'Night of the Star Child's Funk', and 'Simon Courage Flees the Coup' are probably my favorite.

Yeah, ''Hey Momma'' is my favorite.

[chipdip18]

Yeah, ''Hey Momma'' is my favorite.

'Hey Momma' is brilliant. What a perfect single too.

[Feeney]

I'm really not liking the obnoxiously loud drums and guitar on the new album. I'm hoping this is just because of the shitty quality of myspace and it'll be fixed on the actual album, but for now I'm finding it really annoying.

[chipdip18]

Well cryates posted a better link.

[AP_Punk]

Thanks man!

[christopher™]

really enjoy the new album especially oh lord, i hate you california.

[drewk16]

just came across the s/t album (i know im late) im almost done with the first listen and im really loving this so far. mad i didnt find this album sooner!

[thehereaway]

What happened to the new album? I know a myspace rip is out there, but when is it being released officially?

[MattDennis]

I remember my roommate saying these dudes weren't worth checking out after he saw them with mewithoutYou, but I finally listened and wow he was so wrong. Birds (On A Day like Today) is my jam right now.

[popo]

Supposedly, they've already began writing a third album, and are almost finish doing so.

[christopher™]

introducing.. just got finished being mastered. can't wait to hear it instead of that shitty rip I have.

[thehereaway]

Last two posts get a big thumbs up from me if true.

[ThisIsNotDan]

about fucking time considering it was recorded two years ago, and it leaked more than a year ago.

[A7XXX]

Ready to label the new album as my AOTY whenever it comes out
