Kalel formed in summer 07' after the demise of former dundee bands Rising Signs and Magdelen Green. Frankie and Steve (RS) had continued to jam together and work on new material and the decision was made to try and piece together a band to develop the tunes and perform them live.
Smithy (MG) seemed the obvious choice for the drums as he was available and had the reputation of being a great drummer so after little persuasion, he joined. The search for a guitarist was not hard. Frankie had worked with Mark in the doghouse and new of his talents on guitar. After a few jamming sessions together Mark decided to join and the line up was complete.
The 200th concert review has just been posted on the Dead Earnest website (www.deadearnest.btinternet.co.uk/Dundee.htm). I'd just like to thank all the bands, musicians, venue owners, promotors and fans who've been so generous this last 12 months and had so many kind things to say, that, without all of you who I've seen many times to those having a bit of a hiatus, none of what I do would be possible and that, in my opinion, the Dundee Scene remains as the most accomplished, enjoyable and potentially commercial music scene in the UK right now. To all of you who I won't get to see tonight, who may read this now, who may read this nursing one helluva hangover in the morning, thanks for producing/featuring all the amazing music in 2007 and a heartfelt and seriously Happy New Year to all of you - may 2008 take you further up the ladder of success!!
