The New KHP shirts!

They are finally ready to go, We now have the new KHP T-Shirts printed and available for all of our fans. We still have to decide what color combinations we will do, but we can now do custom shirts. This design can be printed on a hoodie, a girls fitted shirt, a tank top, or anything else that we can fit it on!

We have one more design that is in the works right now that should be ready at the end of this Thanksgiving weekend. There have been a lot of changes in KHP in the past months and I think that the new shirt designs will reflect our new image and style. So, you can pick your shirt up at the next show, or you can contact us at khptheband@gmail.com to place an order!

Quick Update!

Just a quick word to let everyone know what is going on. If you have been following along on the studio process, On Monday we recorded Bass and Lead Guitar for the first track. Tonight we will be recording all of the vocals, and tomorrow Richard Mixin will be laying some DJ Sounds throughout the song. So, wish me luck with my singing tonight.

Also, when looking into making T-shirts for the band and trying to find the best prices, I made the decision that I would print the shirts myself. I ordered a bunch of silk screening supplies and I am going to start working on that this weekend. Right now I have 2 designs that I will be printing. As soon as I get some printed I will post some pictures for you to check out. If you are pretty interested in that process, I will be adding that to the list of things that I blog about on my personal blog http://www.khpkristian.blogspot.com/

And so it Starts: The Beginning of KHP's Debut Album

We had plans to start recording on Saturday but first we had to close off the wall between the tracking room and the control room, so on thursday all of us went over to the studio and got to work. Right now we just filled in the walls with a special sound obsorbing type of insulation called Mineral Wool. After a couple of really itchy nights we had it all finished.

So on Saturday, we got to work. We have been working close with Resurrection Studio to help build it and get it to good quality condition for over a year now. We have tried to record before and just couldn't get the right sound. Saturday we started with the drums, and we FINALLY got the sound that we have been looking for.

It was such an exciting day! After a few takes on the drums and a few different mic placements, we ended up with a really good take that we were very happy with. Next we moved on to rhythm guitar. It ended up sounding awesome. It is such a great feeling to actually get the sound that we have been working so hard to get, we are all so relieved and excited. So now we just need to record Bass, Electric Guitar, Turntables, and Vocals and the track will be ready for us to post online. We will be releasing tracks online on Myspace and Reverbnation up until we have finished the album, so keep checking back. I will be sure to let you all know when things are ready.

KHP's Halloween Weekend

KHP was asked to play Halloween Weekend at Bogey's in Clearfield. They wanted us to play both Friday night and Saturday night from 6 pm to 10 pm. Friday night was supposed to be a ladies night that they were calling "Witches Night Out" and of course Saturday was the Halloween Party.


We were pretty excited about playing these shows because the pay that we would get from the club would be enough to kickstart our work in the studio and some other things that we have been wanting to get done.

One thing that we were really excited about, was that Brian's cousin had a 32 channel Allen & Heath mixing board that he said we could borrow for the shows. For those of you who know anything about sound, I need not say more. For everyone else, not only does it improve the quality of sound, and ease of use. It is a step up from the mixing board that I had planned to buy in the future! The more exciting part is that after the show, he offered to give us the board in trade for some work that he needed done.. So now when we do our own sound, it will be that much easier to have that professional sound!


You can't have a big night club like this with a live band and not have some kind of drama right? We put together a typical set for us that we have played a handful of times on the patio in the summer, that included a improv freestyle hip-hop song featuring members of our favorite hip-hop group "The Drunken Masters" We had Lazarus and sin both freestyling, we were all having a great time and everyone in the club was loving it. That is everyone except the owner. He told the managers and everyone else that they need to shut us down because he didn't like it! All of the workers of course ran around like the sky is falling and tried to shut us down. Eventually when we wouldn't stop they walked up and gave us the cut throat signal for stop. We finished up the song and continued the rest of the set. For the rest of the set the bouncers kept coming up and telling us to turn it down even though it was the same as it was all night. Well, whatever.


The funniest part about the whole situation is when we were finished, it was time for the DJ to do his thing. And lets see, did he play rock? maybe country? Oldies maybe, because that is what the owner likes? NO, HE PLAYED HIP HOP!!!! A whole lot louder than we did, and it wasn't even good hip hop.


So if you are ever in Bogey's. Go up to the bouncers, the managers, bartenders, and even the owner (if he happens to be sitting at the end of the bar) and tell them how you wish that the awesome band KHP still played there, and that the hip hop song that they did with the drunken masters was one of the coolest things you have ever seen in that bar!
