K, Ray & The Bird is a Cape Town -based folk rock band. We have a contemporary acoustic sound, with an occasional bluesy edge and moments of quirkiness. The band members are:
Gareth Asch - vocals and guitar
Rae Swart - vocals, saxophone, clarinet, keys, guitar
Karyn Stuart - vocals, bass guitar, violin
Mark Cloete - keys, violin, BGV's
Emil Terhoven - drums & percussion

I own a music blog called "The Indie Discovery" which talks about indie artists

Melodic, story-telling songs, featuring bluesy slide guitar, set against a folk-rock backdrop. 

34 years ago in high school on a Friday after school Mark, Steve and drummer Robert would hang back at the music block and turn up our amps, run around on the school desks (set up as a stage) and write songs (well we didn't have a singer so they were just riffs).

Thanks to the shrinking of our modern world through technology Steve and March reconnected on face book and while travelling for other projects, re-connected over a few "splashes of red" and reminisced with (guitars in hand) and surprisingly remembered the stuff we came up with when we were  kids.

Little did either of us know at the time that while travelling back in time to our high school days and would end up recording a 10 track album !!! but that's what we did ..

Wilko's (taken from on of Steve's the highschool nicknames we could use) debut album (international release on itunes, spotify, amazon, googleplay and all that usual stuff) 

We hope you enjoy our trip down memory lane as much as we did making it ...

Cheers 
Mark & Steve
