This week’s featured event is The Reign of Kindo.
Buffalo’s own Kindo (The Reign Of Kindo) has become one of the most unlikely phenomenons to infiltrate the modern music world. Almost ten years since their debut EP hit #5 on the Billboard Middle Atlantic Heatseekers chart in 2007, this band has only just begun to emerge from their decade-long journey from rags to… better rags with resumes. In an industry where big money and privilege can buy you radio play, TV appearances and audience, Kindo managed to rack up over 3 million views on youtube, over 2.5 Million Spotify plays, & Sell over 30,000 records across the globe, all without the help of any major label. It has become evident, theirs is the sort of sound that so many music lovers are eager to discover and enjoy. The band has become prolific in recent days; writing and producing a brand new song every month since late 2016. These efforts are made possible by a continually impressive showing of support from their most devoted fans on Patreon. Patrons receive a brand new song each month, at least a year before it is compiled onto an album to be released in the marketplace. The best of the patreon songs made up their latest album ‘Happy However After’ released in April of 2018. This new body of work is a continued exploration of neo-soul, post-rock, R&B as well as the next chapter in the story of their unique blend of sounds. It’s worth noting that every Kindo track since 2006 has been produced in-house by the band, engineered & mixed by frontman, Joey Secchiaroli. This allows the band to create without compromise. The music is made solely with the band & it’s fans in mind. Join them when they return home this Friday, August 2nd at the Rec Room. Adrian Bellue, Sirintip, and Rocco of the Snow will start the night off at 6:00pm.
