EMPIRE "ShowBegins" Music Video Rough Cut Finally in your favor is a band that is unique....a band that is doing something very different than the standards of todays music. Empire is heavily influenced by the sounds of both yesterday and today...Watch as the sounds of the future and the past are meshed together in this New England based Rock Act.
Empire is comprised of Kris Keyes (singer and song writer...former singer of Gargantua Soul), Michael Beaulieu (guitarist, song writer, recording engineer, producer, composer and arranger), Eric Sudarsky, (keyboardist, song writer, composer and arranger), Chris Good (bassist, song writer) and Marc Pelkey (percussion).
It was in September of 08 that Kris Keyes contacted Michael Beaulieu through Myspace. This was done through an email which only read, "I sing." In the past Kris had performed with many bands. Two of these bands were Gargantua Soul and Blind Justice. Gargantua Soul was a huge success which sold 50,000 CDs without the help of a record company. They were a band that was at the top and in their hayday shared the same tour manager as "Rage Against the Machine. Gargantua Soul played at Woodstock "99" and at that time they were the biggest unsigned band in America. Blind Justice was a National Act which had many great musicians and had also created a following and a buzz across the East Coast. The history speaks for itself because very few bands out of the New England area have ever gained this kind of recognition. Kris Keyes is a front man with no limits and will go to any lengths to back his performance.
Kris came to Mike and had many songs which were in need of special attention. Eric Sudarsky and Michael had a flood of songs that were written and partially recorded during a long and winded two year period. Exhausted, Eric and Michael were about to part seperate ways due to the frustration of not being able to find the right singer and musicians to make the vision sail. The East Coast is filled with original musicians which are relaxed, uncommitted and stuck in a cover band scene with the luxuries of a New England lifestyle. The weeding through endless musicians just to find one committed musician was becoming very tiring and pointless. Not having all of the members was an endless battle. On this Coast original music is scarce and although there are bands doing original music there is not a lot of public interest or at least not enough to make a big bang. Most great musicians go to the West Coast to connect. It was evident that a great front man would be needed to pull off the magic trick. In October of 2008 Kris Keyes and Michael Beaulieu had set out to form the EMPIRE.
Empire is a brand new band which is creating a big bang through structured music and a theatrical chaotic show which touches the many genres. Please stay tuned for shows and tour dates through the EMPIRE myspace. Every show is different and exciting. Empire has created real music for real people. You will not be dissapointed, you will be left with the feeling of wanting more.
