I am a musician (guitars, synths, samples, vocals) who has dabbled in everything from alt country to indie rock to electronic music. Lately, I've been interested in what I call psychedelic folk music - mostly acoustic with little flourishes of effects and synths - and have done some demos to that effect. Maybe its just my version of alt country.

There are lots of collaborators on this page - and the songs range in quality from Lofi demos and home recordings to studio recordings. There is about ten years worth of music on here - some of the older stuff is pretty amateurish.

If you like what you hear, I'd like to find a singer/musician to collaborate with up here in the DFWA-Z area - maybe work on originals together and play out some.

Some of my favorite bands are Radiohead, the Pixies, Wilco, Grizzly Bear, Moby, Gang of Four, LCD Soundsystem, U2, 1980s new wave, the Beatles, Stones, etc., and you'll hear a lot of those influences in my music.

Equipment: My primary instruments are a Gibson Hummingbird, Gibson J45, Takamine EF341sc and a Korg Microsynth - and any 52 style Telecaster and Gibson Les Paul Special with P90s I can get my hands on. There are tons of guitars, amps, and effects used on these songs - everything from a Gibson RD to Fender Strats to a Takamine Glenn Frey. For amps, I stick with Vox AC15s and 30s, and Fender Deluxe Reverbs, Champs, and Blues Juniors. In the studio (The Storms songs) the recording is done with ProTools. At home, I mostly use Sony Acid Pro for the more electronic stuff and Audacity for the demos. I'm also a big fan of the POD 2.0 by Line 6, and you'll hear a ton of its amp modeling sounds on here.

Enjoy!

Kamikaze Funtime is a Northern California-based musical project founded by songwriter and musician Benjamin Owens. Originally a solo project, KF has more recently reemerged in the form of a three piece rock band with the inclusion of Davey Olmstead on drums and Robert Fosnot on bass guitar and vocals. Kamikaze Funtime's music could be described as Garage rock with heavy influences of punk, early grunge, rockabilly and surf-rock.
