Skip the krap and go straight to the videos!

Keeftowne Blend last update 02/18/09

We rocked the place efficiently. The Valentine's spectacular went with lots of hitches but still... In other news, the new EP sounds real good as treehouse is learning to multitrack and blend effects. They recently got a new digital recorder so we can see some real damages soon. New EP available by request. I will get a link to the music real soon.

We have met Butler's Coffee and it is found to be good. A great cup and on weekends there can be found, us. An appreciative crowd in a friendly atmosphere of upbeat interest. We played a Christmas gift benefit as well as a couple of long set sessions and I can tell you that we will be there alot.

Our digital studio has developed a ghost problem and so album recording has come to a temporary halt until the bailout of treehouse productions is finalized.

This came at an appropriate enough time as bass player Brian developed a bad case of crushed fingers, and so was unable to be of much help in recording process(es).

In other news, band muse and song contibutor, Ray Dennis Steckler passed away recently. Cinematographer and film director, he absentmindedly contributed one of our favorite tunes, Rat Phink to our song list. See ya on the other side Ray.

Our latest video appears immediately below. We will resort to softcore sex to get the hits and how. Brian wrote it, Stalemations animated it and Keeftowne Blend did the soundtrack song, Scotch & Soda al fresco.

DateWrap!-Won'tcha listen to muh story bout a magic sword. Sexist magician the Magic Sword has gone legit in the hypnosis racket, or so he thought... until love reared it's ugly head and he resorts to all the old passions. It is animated and shows no pink parts.
Our video concerning allegations of certain "Tumblin' Tumbleweeds", and their recent travels is from our last album, Trail Songs and is originally from the 1940s in the USA. dreadwilliam edited and animated it. There is rumor that it is funny.

Trail Songs

Sampler from Trail Songs which has 15 selections that span a century of American music, from the well known to the underground. Most have been recomposed by Keeftowne Blend and hardly resemble themselves in their original form. Updated as it were. Here video is.

Keeftowne Blend was formed and the blues world will never be the same, EVER!

The "Blend" as they are fond of calling themselves play all acoustic music because it is easier. Easier to play, easier to learn, and easier to move from venue to venue. Big kit drummers always complain. They carry one drum, one scrub board and one maraca.

Keeftowne Blend plays all cover songs that have been overlooked by time for generations. Many of the recordings they have discovered are so messed up that the music is unhearable. Therefore these songs have all been recomposed by Keeftowne Blend. The band performs under the banner of Treehouse Productions® and all songs are in the public domain and will remain there even under our label for now. So be it!

The players

Johnny Keefe is the singer-keyboardist and the guy who looks up all the obscure music in their reportoir and writes down the words. He performs solo under the name "Spacerust" and also sings with Jet Drive-in.

Marqui Qeef is the shy one who sings back-up and drums on occasion. Real trooper that one.

Brian Keefe(no relation) plays bass live, can dress himself and does the bulk of the music composition on guitar. His rock solid rhythm allows the band to get "all funky" and lose themselves in the moment knowing that good old Brian will be there with the engine running awaiting their return, not missing a beat. He has played in numerous bands and has played the L.A. club circuit, so there.

Stacey Kief is the guitar player-sound engineer, recording director, and has his own truck. He has his hands on too many projects to list. It is amazing that he finds anytime at all to help Billy with that "last missing chord" which makes the song work.

Session men on Trail Songs include Jefte Keefarone on guitar and Marqui Queef on back-up vocals. All members have worked together on Dumpsterpiece Theatre and dumptv which are famous in their own right via dumptv.com.
