   About a.K.a. Keen
aKa keen (formerly keen) is a four piece band out of Reno, Nevada who has definitely made their mark. No matter what label is placed upon the music -- hard rock, heavy alternative; aKa keen's music is unique. Their style has been described as a tangled mass of emotion backed with powerful, driven music.

The original members, Chelsea Keen (vocals, keyboard) and Casey Keen (guitar), pieced the band together in August 1998. Shortly thereafter, they began to play live shows, and were a big hit in their hometown. aKa keen endured line up changes to find a fit with Nate Pearson (bass), who joined the band June 2001; and Jesse Easter, a former drummer who returned to the band in May 2003.

With success on their hands, aKa keen has proceeded to spread their sound to the Northern California regions; playing regularly in Stockton, Sacramento, and the Bay Area. The band has played with such such national acts as Staind, Stereomud, Dishwala, The Flys, Oleander, Dredg, Pressure 4-5, and others.

a.k.a. keen has sold well over 2000 cds including their debut cd-What's With the Blue Hair?, Swallow-a 6 song ep, and a 20 track cd of songs and outtakes collected throughout the years-A Random Mix. aKa keen has just finished up their album, Lucky, which will be released in July 2005. With an overwhelming response to their shows, the time is now. Check them out and FoRM YoUR oWN oPINIoN.

This is what music is all about! As Guns 'n Roses guitar player Slash famously quipped: "Whenever society gets too stifling and the rules get too complex, there's some sort of musical explosion."

jdavie asked me Why do they tell you its not about size.You and i know that is pure bull,I had an experience like this my self.Im going to tell you something that i was asked not to leak out but my so called friend hasent called me for sometime now since he's been busy.Ok he went from having a small yang to a monster in no time at all.he has put on three and a half inches in a short time ,an get this it's still getting bigger.He has been secretly taking these tabs from YAHMIL.COM copy and paste the address into your browser.I found out when I was at his flat, three saturdays ago, we were getting ready to go to the music shop, so while he was in the can, I went in his room, looked under his bed and found a bag with tabs in it, there was like eight full packs and four empty ones, all ordered from YAHMIL.COM I thought it was funny at first but then when he came out and saw me looking at them, he lost it and told me to never let his little secret out,especially chicks that he has been dating for the past while, now that I think of it, he has been rather busy with all the honeys in the zone, when just a while back he was lost when it came to females.I diden't believe him until he layed it all on the table, I did see his stick and yes, it is huge,really huge, the thickest and longest one I ever seen.
I know this sounds really shallow, but I am considering ordering eight packs from the website at YAHMIL.COM for yours trully.. he does not have a web page, so he is not gonna see this. They guarentee that the jells will work on any man, or they give you your money back,Im living proof that they do work on any guy, see for your self.YAHMIL.COM
