About the Band

The Landing Party Consists of:

The Vocal Stylings of k3n,

The Guitar Riffs and Solos of +Em and j$h,

The Bass Grooves mEt (pronounced Emmett),

and the Beats and Rhythm of yours truly, eHs

Our names are spelled that way because it’s cool, duh. The name was decided after we were able to agree on a common interest, and that’s the pirate life. We all live 10 minutes away from the ocean, and one of us is an amateur/professional sailor (that would be K3N). Thus the Landing Party. If you don’t know what a landing party is, it’s a group of about 5 sailors/pirates that go to shore first to recon, bury treasure, or steal stuff. There’s 5 of us, so yeah, it works out well. We are a very recent band, starting this year. We have all been involved in music for years now, K3N and m_et singers (and both bass players), + M has played piano and had guitar lessons for 5 years now, Josh plays the trombone, bass, and guitar and is mostly self taught. As for me, I started on the piano young, then got my first drum set at like 12, but was uninterested at the time, so it was sold. Then I picked up the bass, and then the harmonica for a few months. I then proceeded to buy a electric violin just because I thought it was cool. It didn’t work out that well. On top of that, I bought a ukulele, never learned it, just looked nice. Then I got a guitar from my uncle, 1985 Gibson Sonex 180. I really enjoy playing the guitar.

Around the end of last year, we all got to talking about getting together and jamming. I had a rather cheap drum set, so I was candidate number one for drums, plus I was expert in Rock Band on Drums. Finally, we decided, “Hey, let’s start a band.” And here we are today. I’m saving up right now to get a new set. I just bought some sweet Zildjians (ZBT) and a Tama throne. Expect lots of pictures of us and our gigs!
