It all began in 2000 for this compound of musical madmen. Hailing from Phoenix, AZ, Kraised was formed by singer Tony Noyes aka "Tones" and double-bass drum virtuoso Kelly Knight. Later the next year they released a 3 song demo titled "Demo 2001" which was produced by musician/producer Stu Simone, of "Poison" fame. The band received a great response to the demo, and was welcomed by local radio shows and many internet radio stations. Many shows followed, and Kraised was starting to develop a reputation for their energetic, unpredictable live shows as well as the songs themselves.
In 2002 the band decided it would be a great time to get into the studio again and finally produce a full length CD! With the help of good friend/producer Jaxxon Schwarz of Frankie's Palace Studios, and a year of work, Kraised was able to record an impressive CD titled "Haywire Logic"(2003). The CD proved to be a local hit, and the band won a few local battle of the bands including the coveted "Phoenix's Best Metal Band" at the Keyboard City Local Music Awards. The members of Kraised truly believe that the live show is the most powerful aspect of Kraised. "Entertaining people is what it's all about, thats why we do it", adds Tones.
The ultimate moment so far for Kraised has to be winning the 2005 Alice Cooper's "Proof Is In The Pudding" talent search and playing for 5,000 at Alice Cooper's "Christmas Pudding" Show at Dodge Theatre. The band got to share the stage with Alice Cooper, Styx, The Tubes, Tesla, CTA, Don Felder and many more. "It's an honor to play on the same stage as the bands you grew up listening to." says axe man Ronnie "Psych" Ward. "Its even better to hear all those people screaming along - most of who had never heard of us before."One highlight of the group is 10yr. old Jack Ripper. This amazing guitar shedder raises the bar on stage for the already wild band. When Jack and Ronnie cut heads, it is truly an awesome part of the show.
The sky's the limit for this band because its obvious they love what they do. The kind of contagious energy that Kraised puts forth is what makes this act so addictive. Combine that with a healthy dose of catchy yet different, heavy but not too heavy tunes that make you want to get up and move. The band has released a new CD titled Give Me My MP3s! and is available now!

Whats up brother man? Just letting everyone know what I have going
on and if you have any suggestions! As many of you know I am recording
this years Christmas Cd "Winter Dream
Vol.II" In case you don't know the Winter Dream Cd's are dedicated to
my father who was killed by a drunk driver Back in 2006. The guy who
caused the accident had TWO other EXTREME D.U.I's this one resulting in
a death and another person seriously injured! Yet the Drunk driver ONLY
received 4 years in prison and $1000 restitution! Like always I try to
pull the positive out of a negative situation, which is where my
Christmas Cd's come in!! The Winter Dream Cd's will come in 7 volumes
(7th volume being a best of) each Cd cover will be part of a puzzle,
resulting in one main picture when all Cd's are put together! Part of
the proceeds will go to M.A.D.D..... This years Cd will be promoted
with my new on-line Music School called Musia Institute (MusiaInstitute.com).
When you buy Winter Dream Vol. II you will also receive a months worth
of free guitar lessons @ Musia Institute! So my main goal for Winter
Dream Vol. II is to have as many retail stores caring my Cd,
encouraging friends and students to buy Winter Dream Vol. II as
stalking stuffers, or bosses to give out to their employees. I will
also be on Ken Sharps "Ridin Dirty" Talk show on 830am sometime in
early December. Your suggestions and help would be greatly
apperciated!! Please pass this email on to anyone and everyone....Thank
