   About The Kelps

First, let us say that we're glad you've taken the time read a bit about us. It may sound needlessly cordial, but it does mean a lot to us.

The name of this band is The Kelps.

We consist of Tony Reyes, Cory Barringer, and Cameron Betts. Cory sings and plays guitar with a true, soulful want, Cameron hurts himself with the bass, and Tony plays the drums like an animal, not a machine.

We are a blues influenced "indie" rock band, but we in no way want to say we are limited by such a moniker. Music isn't confined by genres. Music isn't confined by audience. Music shouldn't be confined at all. Any musician that wears the title proudly can wear it anywhere, into any fold and through any brand. The trick is to not be controlled by them.

We sincerely hope you enjoy.

This page was created for us by a true genius of web design, Andi Shaw. Please take a look at her web site, www.wavebreakweb.com. We highly recommend her work above all else.



And a thank you to Sera, for creating this radical banner.

Mr. Charley Patton - Youtube it till you cant stand in no more...give you forever to never be tired of it :)

Perhaps it might be wise for the band to set up a Facebook profile to help with the 21+ crowd ~ Happy Holidays <3

No, good sir, he did not! How rude! I only chide you sir... ;)

anyways... I'm so giddy and happy for The Kelps! i'm glad things are going well...
and although i can figure out in a second on my own, i'll ask you when the Boardwalk show is just to make your life harder... ^-^

I know it'll be fantastic as all your sets are...

I'm fantastic! I found a new heterosexual mate! LOL... his name is Bryan and i'm absolutely happy with the man! I feel terrible because i haven't spoken to Tracie in forever... GOODNESS.

Oh, and today, this man from this crazy-good graphic design/music entertaiment college from Orlando Florida was lecturing my class about producers and animators and front of the house men... i forgot how excitingly horrid the music industry is! lol...
he was like... "Ya need ta take music theory to understand the artists' feelings 'un stuff" and i was like "BITCH, I'll NEVER TAKE THEORY AS LONG AS I LIIIIIIVVVVEEE!"... sorta... in a similar expression...

sigh...

and i was talking in a country accent today! Sometimes, when i hang out with certain friends i catch on to their "dialects" and i have this not-such-a-high-class... juggalo... country-ish... gangster friend who speaks in a country drawl... So for like three hours i was SERIOUSLY speaking in a southern accent...

another sigh...

I'm so happy for you!!! Did you say what class? the box is covering your previous comment so i can't reread it... but yeah... what classes are you taking?

Pfft I am sooo self conscious about my writing, its not even funny. I get all freaked out about people reading even like fully edited stuff. Also I could work on some other writing career while working to get published. Oh and I'm going to send you a poem I wrote not too long ago because I have no one to comment on stuff I write

I know this, but I am afraid I am not as good as Stephen King, or most published authors

Nov 23 2009 8:54 AM

Yeah but I like writing but do I like it enough to do it professionally for the rest of my life. At this point it is looking like yes. Are there any other career alternatives that involve writing
