So the year is over and your either in a bus full of
screaming babies, chicken and a driver with a death wish (I know I am) or hang
over on friends couch cursing that last ATM withdrawal (you’re so screwed by the way). What was I thinking?
But the blog is Kenyan rock band not Kenyan dumb ass so that’s a story for
another day. . .
In country where musical diversity separates us into obes
and the cool people we are doing pretty well. 2012 had more concerts, two rock
festivals and lots of great new singles. However we still have a lot work to
do. Some people (the missing links I call them) still don’t know there is a
local rock scene! There are also lots of up start up acts with great music that
haven’t yet gotten rock fans to sit up and take note. It’s about time we dreamt
of the impossible people. I see international tours, a movie deal or two, but
mostly just music that lasts forever. 2013 should be about making that happen.
From nothing more than the evening’s entertainment at clubs
in their home town the Beatles grew to be the best selling music act of modern
times. The billion records they’ve sold to date probably seemed out of their
reach when they screwed up their first power chord and the crowd jeered at
their bashful baby faces. Now I have not seen any bashful baby faces in the
Kenyan performances I’ve been to so far. On the contrary seasoned rockers
induced head banging, hoarse screaming frenzies in their fans and all without
lip synching #ButDoWeSay. It might sound dumb and spacey at first but is it really?

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to get off this bus. Happy New
Year twerps.
