Brett Johnson, ex-live bass player for the hip-hop group Atmosphere, who is also a guitar player/singer/songwriter, wrote his first solo rock album entitled, "Letters Post Mortem", under the moniker, Kingfield.
Citing such influences as Shiner, Fugazi, Shudder To Think, and Foo Fighters, Kingfield has created a stylistically diverse record that all falls within the genre of rock, but no two songs sound alike.
Letters Post Mortem began as a series of demos that Brett was writing, and self-recording, between Atmosphere tours. The songs were inspired by his battle with cancer, Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, which ended with him as the victor. He has been in remission since June 2002.
Brett passed out the demo recordings to a few of his musician friends, hoping they would learn their parts and practice them to perfection. They did as much, and as a result, Letters Post Mortem was recorded at Vaudeville MPLS Studios upon Brett returning from his Fall 2005 Tour with Atmosphere.
Now that it's 2008...
Kingfield is back at work on getting up to speed with the old songs/new players so we can start performing as soon as possible. New material is in the works that you will very much enjoy. We're sure of it.
We hope to be performing by July 2008 and a new release before the end of the year!
Thanks for sticking around!
KINGFIELD is:
Brett Johnson (Vocals/Guitar)
Shane Baskerville (Guitar/Vocals)
