Katana Light is an artist who uses sound wave alchemy to elevate the soul.

I learned to play guitar and sing at the University of North Texas between 1997 to 2000. I studied acting, voice and dance at The Actors Studio Drama School at the New School University in New York City during 2001-2002. I love music and storytelling.

Jake Davies - Vocals/Rhythm Guitar
Luke Davies - Lead Guitar/Vocals

Brothers Jake and Luke Davies were raised in Melbourne, Australia. Growing up on Rock N’ Roll, they developed a passion for the music. Jake says “I first put a guitar in Luke’s hands when he was 10. I taught him the nylon string
acoustic intro to ‘Unforgiven’ by Metallica, from there he was hooked!”
They loved their native Australia, but were drawn to the U.S. when Luke was accepted to the Berklee School of Music in Boston. Jake relocated to Long Beach, California and started playing in bands on the local scene. After a couple of semesters @ Berklee in 2015, Jake invited Luke to come spend a school break with him in Southern California. Jake says “Every night turned into us partying and writing music. We couldn’t record it on our phones fast enough - It was just pouring out of us! We knew Luke needed to drop out of Berklee and move in with me permanently in Long Beach to do this together for the rest of our lives”. 

As far as the genesis of the band name, Jake continues “One night after heavy drinking at the bar, Luke was struggling. I asked him, ‘how you doing over there Luke’? He said ‘I don’t know man... I’m a little left of limbo’ and it jumped out at us as a band name. Of Limbo has a mystery to it... It’s a bit weird and we definitely have to say the name twice when people ask. But hey - what’s Pearl Jam? Eventually the name just becomes the band identity of the band - not the definition of the words”. It matches their refreshingly unique hard-rock sound, that doesn’t just follow current trends. Davies says “We absolutely strive to not repeat ourselves and create as many different colors as possible. As far as influences. Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Rage Against The Machine are all at the top. As far as how diverse the sound is, Faith No More is a band who I really respect for their ability to do this too”.

Of Limbo pride themselves on making every show a party. They have toured with Blue Oyster Cult, Wolfmother, Hinder, Candlebox, Buckcherry and Joyous Wolf, among others. Their high-energy performances create an electric atmosphere that is infectious, making it impossible not to have fun. “Performance wise, for us, it’s always been about making a rock
show a party again” says Jake. “I can’t tell you how many shows I’ve been to where the people just stand there like zombies that have been herded into a room to just stare at the meat on stage and robotically clap when a song ends.
You know the craziest thing about it? All it takes is like two people at the front to start losing themselves, dancing and having a good time to break people out of this weird self-conscious trance. It’s as if it sweeps across the rest of the
crowd like an electrical current shocking them all back to life and everyone has so much more fun after that. “If you want a passive, one-sided entertainment experience, go to a movie.” The band will be releasing new track & video “Let’s Go” in the early fall, and plan to stay on the road for the rest of the
year into 2023.  “Everywhere we looked, it was just gutless hipsters playing ‘indie rock’. What the fuck happened?”

It’s time for the world to hear real rock again…

I am an architectural designer, musician,relic guitar builder, artist, purveyor and re-purposer of all things classic, cool and vintage from Cars, old pickups and motorcycles to the never ending search for vintage guitars to give new life. On my first track posted to soundcloud,I'm in the midst of working on my instrumental I've titled Firelight. I am using a 1965 Brazilian Gianinni Classical guitar over background piano, percussion and bass. This is of course in the works and not quite there...but maybe it is? who knows? Music has it's own soul and sometimes it is better left in a raw and simple mode. I might minimize the piano in the beginning or maybe remove the percussion and let the guitar simply work with the piano and the bass. of course I personally like the guitar by itself at the end. 
&lt;
p&gt;I am a big fan of the sounds that emanated from the Cowboy Junkies 1988 Trinity sessions. although not nuevo Flamenco it was indeed sultry, smoky and had that empty cathedral sound I evoke here, nothing like that sound it can raise the hair on your neck. I like the gamut of guitarist from the Rock heavies of Hendrix, Van Halen and Vai to the blues of SRV, the Flamenco of Ottmar Liebert, Mark Antoine and Jesse Cook, and the finger style of Antoine Dufor.. I welcome comments and the like and it's not so much that I seek to work the song to a final end as much as what feelings does it evoke in you? Let me know what you think. I love music, the arts and people and hope to gain new aquaintences through this portal. cheers!
