What do you think about when you hear of a two name musical act? Well, I thought of Chas & Dave when Rob and I first came up with the “Rob and Kal”. They’re from not far from where we live – just within greater London, and support my team, Spurs. In fact, (and I [...]
Behind every good man there’s a good woman. You’ve heard the mantra before. Is it true? Well, you tell me, but maybe it’s true in terms of inspiration. Yesterday, I started thinking about what inspires me to write music. There were lots of things – a really bad day, a really good day, interesting people, [...]
Following on from my last post…what does everyone think about Hip Hop? I think it’s one of those genres that truly polarizes opinion – some love it for its rhythm, its ability to give a voice to a certain section of society (particularly in the US), and the way it can bring together several genre [...]
I woke up after my traditional (non-existent) Sunday morning lie in, set my itunes to shuffle and listened to a long succession of different artists whose music I have bought over the years. The question suddenly dawned on me – is it possible to like all genre of music. Basically, is there anyone out there [...]
Just thought I’d drop the first in a series of mini-blogs about our musical backgrounds. As some of you know Kal and I were previously in a band called Paris Revolution . To quote from our About Us page: Playing the local haunts of Birmingham and Leicester including Bar Academy and the now defunct legendary [...]
Something that I really enjoy doing, and would like to excel at is vocal harmonies. When I sing with Rob, we have a good understanding of where we’re singing (if that makes sense), and where my voice can go to complement his. You’ll see, hopefully, this when we post a video which is in the [...]
This video is probably the main reason why this website exists today. Enjoy! As always your ratings and comments on youtube are much appreciated!
Just thought I’d drop another blog today. Been playing my acoustic guitar since I woke up, playing around with U2′s Stuck in a Moment for an acoustic version. It’s starting to sound alright. On a slightly related note, Rob went to see U2 live at Wembley with 87,999 others, in the presence of “the claw”. [...]
Do you know when everything just feels like it’s going right? I’ve got that feeling this week. Things are going well musically, RobandKal.com is getting off the ground, and as I walked through London on my way home, the Sun was that perfect warmth where you notice it shining on you, but it’s still quite [...]
I know the word Legend gets thrown around too much these days, but with this man, it’s for good cause as it’s his name – sort of. While I don’t claim to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of all of his material, I had his 2004 album Let’s Get Lifted on repeat for the whole year. [...]
