Black Box edition cover

For those who wonder why there were no news from our special Red box edition ! Here is the hard and cold truth! The company we were working with to make the Red Box has been unreliable for months. It put the whole limited edition into a huge delay and  we couldn’t make it on time for the first buyers. We finally decided (recently only) to dump them completely and we had to find another box maker, make a new deal etc …. etc … So where is the good news here ? We can finally tell you that our special limited box is back on track ! But it is not anymore Red !! ^^ It became black ! a bit bigger and with a cool magnetic closing system !

Unfortunately, due to our poor first partner it’s been seriously delayed and we are working hard to make it available in October ! We apologies for the ones who already bought it ! But you have to know we do not forgot you, and you will receive it, next month hopefully. More details as soon as we have them !

Here we are fighting to know witch is the best cover for the black box edition! But on the wo version you can see, probability are high for the first version (Top Pic on this page).

K-Syndrom Band

 INTRO

Because K-syndrom is an atypical project, we decided to open a special section called “In Bed With K-Syndrom”. In here you’ll find a lot of information, not only on K-Syndrom’s last news. But focus will be put on unusual things like our members side projects, or solo projects. Videos, Pictures, Articles. A lot of different stuff are coming. So stay tuned!! This is not our biography, if you want have more info on our project, take a look at our Biography and to the explanations on our album ‘True Love’. Let’s start by introducing you to the current band members!

 YUKIE

Yukie

Yukie, if she is playing bass for K-Syndrom, she is first a complete musician. She has numerous skills, composing electronic music as well as playing piano, keyboards, gamelan, accordion, bass … It’s simple, if she likes an instrument you can bet she will be able to play it few months later! To have an idea of her electronic personal project, check her MySpace!!. Yukie has joined K-Syndrom at the first stage of the band.

Yukie had a tough job thought, putting cool basses parts on tracks that already exists, but have no bass at all. The album was first an electronic only album. So she had to adapt herself. The result is giving a new breath to the album tracks, and makes K-Syndrom’s live quite unique compared to the Album! You have to experiences both!

Before that K-Syndrom was a solo project. At that time she joined us as bassist. As Fred is not a good ‘Japanese’ speaker, Yukie provided a huge help. Finding band members was a pain and the project stayed in a ‘solo project’ states for years. But as soon as she was in, K-Syndrom could finally reach more candidates by posting adds in ‘japanese languages only’ websites. This move quickly led the band to find Yamaoka.

YAMAOKA

Yamaoka

Yamaoka, K-Syndrom’s beloved drummer joined the project soon after Yukie. The band found him through a Japanese musician website called ‘With9′, if we are still searching the meaning of this name, this is a great tool to make contact with musician in Japan, so if you are like us, just drop a line there or ask a Japanese friend! Yamaoka is a former professional musician, and we can tell! He gave to the drums parts a brand new dimension, making them interesting and perfectly in line with the tracks.

His skills allowed him to be comfortable with the tracks in no time, and for him playing with a click track is a breeze! Yamaoka is definitely the drumer K-Syndrom was waiting for.

Yamaoka has few others projects, one of them is 2bojp, a double drums electronic projects! Yes, you read it well, 100% electronic music with 2 drummers! You can check their Myspace -> ’2bojp’. And here is a youtube video of them.

K-Syndrom Live – 2011-08-09 – Ruby Room from K-Syndrom on Vimeo.

Our 2nd gig in Ruby Room, this time we opened the show with ‘Dead End’, then played ‘DeKonneKtion’ and ‘KaKoPhOnY’ … It was a nice and cool ambiance, we sold our very first download cards here ! Thank YOU! Video has been uploaded to our vimeo channel and not to our youtube channel due to the length (youtube is limited to 15 min … TOO BAD! ).
