Kane & Zaray

"New York's Premiere Pre-War Musical Act Kane and Zaray perform jazz & classic songbook of the 20s-40s and beyond the way the songs were meant to be delivered. Well-loved, danceable - and loungable - faves are brought to life with a real piano, old-time vocal harmonies and steady rhythms that are truly authentic.

Hei, Drill for Absentee.

I've had your self-titled 7" (in both black and clear vinyl) for a little while now, as well as Circle Music, but have only just now decided to get MySpace profile in order and invite you in. Cheers very kindly for accepting the invitation.

Reform, why don't you! We could do with some more Drill for Absentee.

from Miblo del Carpio.

P.S. Please, if you have some time, have a listen to the piece of music I have on my profile, and let me know if you think I have something worth persuing.

thanks so much for the add, I actually downloaded the songs and played one on university radio, loving what you guys did. It's a shame that talented bands seem to languish in obscurity during their existence, and then their name is never heard once they're gone. Thank god for myspace.
