Band Updates!

Sorry everyone that I haven't updated this with any new blogs, sometimes I have a hard time deciding what band news is blogworthy. Then when I think about it, I realize that everyone deserves to hear about anything going on with the band!

There are a couple of good things I want to share with you. The first is an upcoming show that we will be playing that we are very excited about. Along with fellow local bands "Kiss me, Kill me" and "ECS" we will be opening for "Caroline's Spine" on November 27th at Club Vegas in SLC. We really feel like this will be a really good show for us. We are a good fit with these bands so I have to give a good shout out to Pat at Club Vegas for doing such a good job of fitting bands together. Tickets are $10 and you can contact anyone in the band to get your tickets. We would really appreciate the support on this one.

The next thing I want to share with you all is we finally have a YouTube account up and running and for the last month or so we have been adding live video from the shows we play. Check it out at www.youtube.com/khptheband If you have never been to a show, there is a lot of music on these live videos that isn't on any of our sites. While you are there, subscribe and leave some comments and share with your friends. Thanks all

KHP's first Recorded track from the upcoming album

Well, we have finally made some headway on recording. We have been working on trying to find the right sound and in the process have been completely changing our sound along the road. It has been a long process because we have been working on recording songs, get them recorded and then decide that we weren't happy with the sound that we got. We would make the necessary changes and then start over. Well we feel like we finally got one right. We recorded our song "Blood Stays On The Blade" at Resurrection Studio with Lazarus as the Engineer, and then sent the song to The Analog Room to be mixed by Kevin Smith. We are really happy with the sound. Hopefully you had your sound on while you were reading this blog, if it is then you are probably listening to the final product right now.. If not you can turn on your sound and refresh the page, or go and check it out on our website www.khptheband.com

Now that we have finally found the sound we are looking for, It is going to be a mad dash to get this album finished. As I am sure you all agree, it is long past due! We will slowly be releasing track by track until the album is finished and then we will print them all on a CD. So keep checking back to see what we might have new!

Leadlight Iris, A colaboration!

If you haven't already noticed, KHP is a band with no limitations to the type of music that they play. They have written and performed songs touching on lots of different genre. The newest venture touches on the world of hip hop. The band had been working on the music to a new song, and when hearing it, Kristian decided that this song would be perfect to have hip hop verses to it.

Many rock bands have tried to do hip hop and always make it sound cheezy and ungenuine. KHP wanted it to sound as good as possible and so colaborated with a local hip hop MC named "Constable" from the group "Drunken Masters"... Constable wrote the verses to this new song and Kristian wrote the chorus. KHP performed this song at their last show in Ogden and will soon be putting it up on  youtube, so look for the links.. In the meantime, here are the lyrics to the song. The meaning behind the name is fairly simple. Leadlight is another name used for Stained Glass, and Iris of course is part of the human eye, the part said to map the soul.. so in other words "Stained Glass eye"

Leadlight Iris

I'm sick of struggle, sick of stressing sick of life

sick of liquor and its vigor being why I sleep at night

I need some light with this dreary darkness closing in

its hard to play the game when you know you'll never win

now look into my eyes, the window to the soul now tell me is there one inside

tell me what you see, a reflection of yourself or are you seeing through to me

is it sin? or is it just impending defeat?

I miss the days when I was too intensive to be beat

these bitter sweet, sweet and sour contradictive lives

I hear that normal people do not wish for their demise

they say the sky's the limit but its deminished in my eyes

two cups of coffee mixed with whiskey in the morning when I rise

now look into my eyes, the window to the soul now tell me is there one inside

tell me what you see, a reflection of yourself or are you seeing through to me

I despise the fact that I despise myself

would I rather that I'm not alive or be somebody else

or is it wealth? that happiness inside a dollar bill

why should I do my best to supress my desire to kill

and free will's a joke, cause nothings for free

even imaginary gods will try to tell you how to be

so don't you see I search for meaning at the bottom of a cup

and even though I keep on trying I'm not having any luck

only the good die young, which means I'm probably stuck

and I guess I could keep caring but I just don't give a fuck

So look into my eyes, the window to the soul now tell me is there one inside

now tell me what you see, a reflection of yourself or are you seeing through to me now
