Kind of Calmness

Bio:

This is the myspace-site of "Kind of Calmness" (2001-2003).

K.o.C. originally started as a funk & alternative-rock band in 1999, (Zahn/ Bosbach/ Bockemühl/ Asbach).

In late 2001, after the departure of Jens Bockemühl and Sven Asbach, Kind of Calmness continued with Mel on bass and Christian Barthold on guitar.

Kind of Calmness consequently changed their style and became more quiet and jazzy, with athmospheric sounds and more Trip Hop style. This fitted Sonja's vocal style much more. It really wasn't Black music, but a sophisticated white funky-jazzy retro sound, so they named their style "Northern Funk".

K.o.C. did some concerts in the area of cologne/germany and made an album in 2003 (Sooner or later). It's funk, jazz, bossa nova, psychedelic and electronic guitarsounds and much more. After some more concerts, Kind of Calmness had to disband – due to Sonja Zahn's study of psychology in a different part of Germany.

So this is a my space-site to remember the nice music of the quartet in it's form from 2001-2003.

Some Live Videos:

"Another kind of Calmness"

"Letter to Africa"

"Brothers and Sisters"

"Sunday"

K.o.C. apologizes for the bad sound+video quality of the Live videos. But these are the only things available.

Sounds Like:

don't know ... K.o.C. were four very different personalities with different taste of music. But they also had some common favourites.. like: Portishead, Saint Etienne, Stereolab, which maybe is the music that could be compared best to their own music. K.o.C. were also into Keziah Jones, Goldfrapp, Björk, Tory Amos, Curtis Mayfield ... 70's filmscore music, Miles Davis, Red Hot Chily Peppers ... and many more.
