iknowkungfu began in the rainy fall of 1999 in the unassuming whitebread craptopolis of Vancouver, WA. Tired of boring jobs and the bottomless weekends of sports bars and playstation, three friends hit the garage with some guitars, a case of beer and no expectations other than drinking said beer and blowing off the steam of the work week by making some noise.
Influenced by everything from late 80's/early 90's punk rock like Descendents, Operation Ivy and NOFX, to the Pogues, the Dubliners and Billy Bragg to 80's metal like Motorhead and Iron Maiden, iknowkungfu is the embodiment of beer, brotherhood and good time rock and roll.

What's up Iknowkungfu? Your wonderfully bright soul keep the demons from torturing me. Your beauty is equal to the smoothness of a polished gem. Your tears evoke a taste as memorable as honey. Your layers of absinthe and torsion form concretions of hyper-alimentation. The music that flows from your instruments overwhelms me with creativity. Wood nymphs sprinkle your path with rose petals while you dance and prowl in the sequined moonlight with leftover cupcake sprinkles. Entranced by the sweet harmony of your lips, I gaze beyond reason to find the oasis of your brilliant soul. I sense wild vapors of sweet champagne in your larynx. Polished rock candy comes ever to mind when thinking of you. Transistors bridge where your vanity would never go. All my thoughts are lost to your graceful gaze? You are dressed with filaments and people take pains to make you fully incandescent this evening. Your beauty is multiplexed in contemplation of your multidimensional effervescence. The sand runes crossing your divided consciousness do speak of contemptuous monsters being slayed by flying phoenixes.
Thanks for coming over for Halloween, you guys were great! Amazing, stupendous, outstanding even. When ever I'm having a crappy day your music picks me right up, I can't wait to hear the "new" recordings!
