Music Scene: Savannah's Math Rock 'Progressivedelics' Al Gore Rhythms release new EP and video Also on the bill Local Tunes: The ever-evolving Intracoastal Playboys swing into Over Yonder and Wharfstop “He spit in my eye, and screamed, ‘I am Ken!’ Then he punched my dad in the face, jacked his car and steered on out of here. Everything you touch will turn into a drum.’ “He said, ‘I’m going to bless you with the gifts of being able to hit things rhythmically,’,” recalled Felo. According to Felo, 15 years ago, when he was 8 years old, he encountered an Arabian alchemist on the street who blessed him with an incredible gift. KWMC are currently mixing their first single which should be available soon.Īs far as who Ken is and what he is doing with their car, the band have an origin story that I imagine changes with each telling. If we would just record them on our phones we would literally have an endless supply of songs.” That makes writing the songs easy because David might play the melody, and I’ll play the drum part, Jake will play bass, and we’ll go through an entire movement.

Just jamming and playing off each other, it’s very seamless and intuitive. “We can play an entire show where we don’t know what we’re going to do before we get on stage. “This is the easiest band I’ve been a part of as far as input and participation,” said Felo. KWMC only perform original material and have fallen into an easy synergy when it comes to writing songs as a band. 'Just jamming and playing off each other' “Half the members of Ken, Where’s My Car? are dating half the members of Girlfriend From Hell,” Felo pointed out. Punk show at Red Porch Pit, and even a birthday party.Īlthough they are one of the only emo bands in Savannah, KWMC have had no trouble finding a place in the music scene and building relationships with other bands. KWMC have been building its fanbase with excellent gigs at El Rocko Lounge, Sentient Bean, a St. “It’s like peanut butter and jelly,” said Felo. KWMC combines their love for Midwest emo bands like Mom Jeans, Hot Mulligan, This Town Needs Guns, and emo legends American Football, with elements of math rock. Sherry and Felo were formally in the band Skydiver, and McGee was in Arms Up. KWMC formed last summer and features Kieran Panning-Miller (vocals, guitar), David McGee (guitar), Jake Sherry (bass), and Chris Felo (drums). There is a surprising lack of emo bands in Savannah, but Ken.Where’s My Car? (KWMC) fills that much needed niche. Savannah’s Pink Peugeot and Ken.Where’s My Car? will be joined by Athens-based rock trio Parking Garage, but as far as I’m aware (correct me if I’m wrong), none of the bands write songs about cars, so gearheads looking for anthems about tuned-up muscle cars should be warned.

The Sentient Bean is hosting a show with a handful of bands united under the theme of having automobile-related names. Watch Video: Savannah Baroque musician Anne Acker plays a harpsichord she designed
