Kodiak <KodiakUK>


Kodiak are a four-piece from Glasgow who have been flirting with greatness for three years. Although not quite ready to fully commit to it, they have no problem at all with the odd sweaty backseat fumble with greatness, and fully encourage musical dogging. Why not come and listen at our steamed-up windows while you fumble suspiciously underneath an oversized raincoat?

Something of a slut of a band, Kodiak will stick it about anywhere and can be caught, sticky-fingered, with a worryingly loose assortment of genres. We'll do rock. We'll do pop. We'll have a threes-up with jazz and funk while emo watches and pathetically beats off into a lacy-gloved hand, sobbing at its own sense of worthlessness.

There's a party in your ears - and we're coming.

  • Omerta

    Ok folks, it's here! Only around 18 months overdue, Omerta is Kodiaks new EP, recorded over two days with Glasgow legend Andy Miller at Chem19 studios in Hamilton.

    Available to listen to on Bebo and MySpace, the CD will be available to buy in the next few weeks.

    Listen! Enjoy! Tell us whatcha think!

  • So, what's going on with Kodiak then?

    www.kodiakweb.co.uk
    All this talk of new EP’s, and nothing yet, I hear you shout! Well, Dave’s here to fill you all in on what’s really going on in Kodiakworld.

    “Yup - seems like an eternity since we’ve been promising this “new EP” to the world doesn’t it? Well, November 2006, to be precise. Artwork was all designed and name chosen too…..

    It’s been a difficult period for Kodiak all things considered - not least me disappearing for large chunks of the past year due to my new status as “Dad” to Aidan Baloyi Quinn (born Feb 25th!), but we’ve not been lying idle.

    In fact, we have spent alot of time recording recently. Thanks to a few students at the Glasgow School of Audio Engineering, we did actually lay down a total of five tracks in the first part of this year (Open Eyed, Tearblind, Downtime, Shatter & Clusterfuck).

    Two of them got completed at the time, and we still have the raw material of 3 others, but to be honest the songs have changed a bit since we originally recorded the parts, so we’re not too keen on releasing them in their current format. They’ll probably surface at some point on a “demo” release, but it certainly won’t be a standard Kodiak EP.

    Then, last month, we returned to our normal producer, Simon Johnston at Urban Studios, to record a new “single” entitled “Swim“. Whilst we’re much happier with this, there are still a few tweaks we want to get done before it’s unleashed on the general public - which is probably a matter of a few hours more in the studio, but it’s getting the time that’s difficult, added to the fact that Steve is currently on holiday in Philadelphia, and you can see why there’s a delay!

    Good news is (well, hopefully FANTASTIC news) that we are hoping to secure some funding soon that will allow us to record, at the very least, a mini-album’s worth of stuff very soon. Really excited about that, and as I say, hopefully all will be revealed soon.

    Meantime, we’ve got a gig in Paisley confirmed for August, and it’s looking like we’ll be back in Glasgow at the Classic Grand in September - so not too long to wait for another Kodiak fix!”

    So, to sum up, things are happening - just not as quickly as we’d like them to. Hopefully have something ready soon, but meantime, the Podcast is probably the best place for some Kodiak related entertainment and gossip!

    Apparently cook made a short vid of it and I know Eve took loads of pics so they'll go up soon. Not sure what to do with the vid though......it certainly shouldn't be for public viewing!!!
