For some people - maybe even you - music is a religion. Like all religions, the point of music is to communicate with the infinite, to find a common tongue with which to express the power and scope of the universe. Iggy Pop calls it the O-Mind - the primal instinct that moves us toward ecstasy, raging against the dullness of everyday life until you reach that perfect moment of understanding, the point of pure white light and pure white heat. The true secret of music is that ecstasy can come from anywhere at any time, that what seems like chaos can suddenly shift into epiphany.
Ace Kinkaid live in that pure ecstatic moment: four reasonably normal men who come together to create moments of blinding, awesome clarity. The songs can shift anywhere from quiet, contemplative grooves to wild discordant noise; sometimes the music ebbs and flows organically from one peak to the next, sometimes it turns on a dime as if it's daring you to pay attention. Ace Kinkaid sometimes don't seem to be making the music so much as allowing it to move through them to wherever it needs to go - but luckily, you get to come along for the ride.

Thank you for the awesome comments and praise. It very much appreciated. Keep coming back for new songs being added soon. Our full length will be finished in Oct. Once we start touring it is possible that we may stop up to toronto, after all we are neighbors. Again thanks, Val Makaras Pen
I want to invite you to show on Saturday the 18! It's happening at Exile Infoshop (256 Bank at Cooper, second floor). I'll play a set, along with May Jun (also Ottawan) and Two Kids Running Away (touring sweethearts from Alberta).
Come out and be friendly. Ottawa solidarity, yeah?
That was a great set at Clintons. Armed with elements of prog-metal and electronica, this is a sonic kalaeidoscope of styles that gradually unfolds with epic ambience, psych-fueled ventures, and blazing guitar parts. Arrangements that hint at bits of King Crimson, Dream Theater, and The Mars Volta, without any of prog’s pretentions, rather leaning towards smooth synth-scapes, propulsive drumming and tripped-out guitar-solos.
hey Ace Kinkaid boys , we are booking a tour for the upcoming cd, and i talked to the Isosceles Project. So we are wondering if you want to turn the june 14th show into a big family reunion and add us to the mix. let me know what you think.
