Just in case you haven’t checked back lately, we have added quite a few more “freebies” to our Facebook exclusive download page, as a special thank you for following and supporting us. For all of you we have uploaded several previously unreleased videos and audio material, and hope you’ll enjoy what we’ve made available for you.
Your feedback is going to be very welcome as well.
Thank

We‘re starting the “freebie column” today!
Exclusively released to our Facebook friends and follwers! We’d like to say THANK YOU to all of you for your support over the years!
Finally, right? 😁
Anyways, we’re kicking this series of previously unreleased material off with an early demo of “Chance Meeting At The Lucky Strike”, which eventually was released on our second concept album, Q&A.
This particular early demo still includes a few “bloopers” if you will and, at least to us, is still as hilarious today as it was the day we recorded the original first tracks.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we do and get a kick out of it as well…

Just a week ago we finally took the first step into starting to explore material for our fourth album. Way overdue, if you ask me – this used to be something we would do on a regular basis. But due to mostly job related reasons have not gotten to do too much of this sort of thing. Needless to say we’re quite stoked to finally get into the mood to produce some original music once again.
It was an amazing session of picking out the first pieces to work on next out of a bucket full of ideas and material to choose from.
On top of that, I think we’ve already figured a theme for the concept, since we like to work on concept albums the best… 😉
Stay tuned in, there is more (much more) coming this way in the very near future, especially since we’re working on finishing album no. 3 right now…
This week’s Song Of The Week is Passion Faux Pas from the Q & A album.
We hope you all had an awesome, relaxing and very enjoyable Memorial Day holiday weekend. We know we did, as we had a killer band practice getting ready for the upcoming show at the End Zone in Kewanee IL on June 9.
Today’s Song Of The Week covers another staple in the KayaMBeE live performance catalog, Passion Faux Pas.
Stream the entire song for free until we’ll release the next SOTW (see the player below). As always, comments and referrals are very welcome, too.

Cosmos for this one its per her request
He fans out his feathers and puffs out his chest
It’s one for the road and two on one fare
In Prada and Gucci they make quite a pair
I don’t wanna be another one of your latest things Cuz I don’t wanna find tomorrow our love’s become passé
His phone sits untouched well what would he say?
He had a great time and he liked her a lot?

This week’s Song Of The Week is Carpe Diem from the Live And Learn album.

I know you’ve arrived, I saw your headlights in the drive.I know it’s cold out, c’mon inside it’s warm and dry.
I know that look babe, you’re upset with what I had to say. I never meant for it to sound that way.
It’s not my business what you did before I was there. I’ve got enough love to pretend that I don’t care. Let’s keep it up babe, so you prefer a little mystery. I never was too good with history.
And I have no more questions. And I have nothing left to hear. And I have no more need to measure. I just need you near.
I’ll pour the rum and let the cards fall where they may. I don’t mind your laughter, it’s pretty funny when I act that way.
I’ll have just one more, and we can wash away all our cares.
We’ll hit the lights and head on upstairs.
And I have no more questions. And I have nothing left to hear. And I have no more need to measure. I just need you near.
Come inside…shut the door.
Leave what you brought here on the floor Turn the clock to face the wall
Our silhouettes will rise and fall
And I have no more questions. And I have nothing left to hear. And I have no more need to measure.
I just need you near.

Initially our intention was to have this companion book available at the Q&A album release party, which just took place last week. It was almost ironically, but the print process must have taken just a tad too long for the books to arrive in time.
So, to make a long story short, we are very happy to announce the arrival of the book “KayaMBeE – Q&A In Depth“, the perfect companion for our second concept album, Q&A. We will be carrying a few copies around at our next live appearance, where we’ll offer it at cost. But the book is also available at Lulu.com, where a copy of the book can be ordered also at cost.
The book is 190 pages heavy and contains lyrics, credit details, background information for each of the songs on Q&A, photos and some funny stories as well. Get your copy, soon…

It took the manufacturer a little bit longer than we had anticipated, but they have finally arrived: a small batch of pre-production CDs.
They turned out quite awesome, too.
If anybody is interested in obtaining this old fashioned style of music media, just let us know, and we’ll get you hooked up…
