InfluencesOriginal music kinda bluesy, sometimes rock n roll all built around the guitar playing and music of Kevin Ashcroft - sometimes just a laid back piano ballad but beware - no cheesey ballads here just the melancolic echos of a broken heart in every chord....

.. 'YOU GAVE ME THE BLUES album now available' ............................................................................................... theKAB is a project by Kevin Ashcroft, Pete Taylor and Tony Smith who are are based in Birmingham West Midlands and play mainly original blues/rock n roll music along with some haunting gutsy ballads. We all have primary bands so theKAB is our own personal project - we have just released our first album which contains 11 original tracks showcasing our blues and rock n roll with a couple of ballads thrown in. The album is entitled 'You Gave Me The Blues' and features Kevin Ashcroft on Vocals / Guitars / Keyboards, Pete Taylor on Bass Guitar and Tony Smith on drums. It is available on Defamation Records as a CD (www.yougavemetheblues.co.uk)and also digitally on iTunes (www....com.ygmtb-itunes) HMV (www....com.ygmtb-HMV) eMusic ( www....com.ygmtb-emusic ) etc. The 11 tracks are 1 You Gave Me The Blues (Full Version) 2 Theres No One Home (Tonight) 3 Aint No Rehearsal 4 Helpless 5 Life Without You 6 So This Is Rock n Roll (Full Version) 7 (I Know) Its's Over 8 A Little Bit Sad 9 Saturday Night Blues 10 Still Hurting 11 Too Much Too Soon We are a 3 piece band and have gigged both in the UK and Hamburg Germany as well as playing a live acoustic set on BBC Radio WM in the West Midlands. At the heart of the bands sound is Kevins haunting guitar work with sustaining string bends and subtle use of the tremelo bar ruling the day rather than 'fast you can play it' guitar runs. On our mySpace site we have uploaded some samples from our forthcoming debut album 'You Gave Me The Blues' albeit low quality MP3s and is not representative of the studio quality tracks that will be on the album As well as most of the 11 tracks from the album, at gigs we play many other original based music such 'Fated Love', our current set opener 'Let Me Hear That Rock n Roll' ,'Slowly Moving On' and 'Just Play Me The Blues' all which will all probably end up on our second album ! Kevin also helps run the Midlands Muisic Network promoting live acoustic music in the West Midlands - see www.midlandsmusicnetwork.org.uk for further details. Kevin currently playing keyboards for Barry Steele who does a superb Roy Orbison Tribute and we are playing the Theatres from Sep 2008. theKAB are about to embark on their 2nd album for a 2011 release.....
