Please mark your calendars, friends!
The Eric Lang Benefit for Life will take place on Saturday, December 1, 2018.
KayaMBeE is going to be part of the benefit and will provide live music after dinner.
The benefit is going to start at 5 PM.
Don’t miss this event for a very, very good cause!
More details to follow…
KayaMBeE will return to The End Zone in Kewanee, IL on Saturday, December 8, 2018. The show will start at 9 PM.
Due to health issues our bass player, Rodney Taylor, will not be able to perform that night. However, we were lucky enough to get the amazing Kendra Bowers of Backseat Betty on board to rock out with us on the 8th. Obviously it goes without saying that our setlist will be a bit different from our “usual” material, and will include material not previously performed as well. Over the last few weeks we had a ton of fun rehearsing with Kendra and we’re looking forward to a very fun night at the End Zone.
Come on out and help us to rock the End Zone on December 8!
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…
KayaMBeE will return to the End Zone in Kewanee, IL on Saturday, June 9, 2017. The show will start at 9 PM.
This time we will perform a brand new show, with brand new cover material and original songs never performed live before. Included in the new cover material are songs originally written and recorded by some of our personal heroes who have passed on not too long ago.
Come on out for this very fun event and party with us all night long.
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?
