Kodiak's New Music Video "Goodbye" and New Song "Alone"


Kodiak is working on new music, and making new friends.  Today is the release of the band’s new music video, GOODBYE.  


A simple video with footage from the studio and the band’s stage show, the video is a great introduction to the band- - the Biggiani brothers—drummer Pete and guitarist Chris, bassist TJ Haefner, lead singer Eric Dalton.



The group is also releasing a new single, ALONE. Carmine calls it a “future classic rock song.” Pete says “it’s one of our favorite songs to play live.  ALONE is a very uplifting song it really lets you know that you’re never truly Alone. No matter how hard life gets or what you’re going through. There will always be someone somewhere to be by your side. I think it’s important for everyone to know that now and then. We will always be there not only for our friends and family but our fans too.”

The New Jersey based Kodiak are signed to WorldSound/AWal Entertainment, and co-managed by legendary drummer Carmine Appice and Warren Wyatt. Warren was responsible for careers of Crimson Glory, Saigon Kick, and Carmine’s “Guitar Zeus” album series!

10 years ago, Carmine began mentoring Pete, when he won a contest to appear in the drum legend’s instructional DVD, Realistic Rock for Kids.

Kodiak is releasing 3 singles this summer as they play festivals and make TV and radio appearances, plus live concerts, and get ready for an album later this year.

Kodiak have already turned heads with a number of hard rock/heavy metal legends VH1 / radio host Ed Trunk introduced the group, who played their first gig, opening for The Appice Brothers, at 2019’s Hall of Heavy Metal History Award Show, Anaheim, California.  The group was compared to a young Van Halen!

Kodiak Debuts With New Hard Rocker "Goodbye" Out on Worldsound/AWAL

With imagery of rain in the sky and tears, Kodiak’s debut single GOODBYE is a driven and determined single about wanting to get to the root of a breakup based on misunderstanding.  The song makes you believe that love can heal all wounds, thanks to the Biggiani brothers-- slamming drummer Pete and arousing guitarist Chris, along with supportive bassist TJ Haefner, and the passionate lead singer Eric Dalton.

“Everyone goes through this in their lives, including the four of us,” the band says about mending fences with a true love. Pete says all four of the band members wrote the song, starting on the guitar. “First Chris wrote the chorus riff. Then he and I both sit down and pieced the parts together. Then Eric who wrote the lyrics & TJ the bass parts…”
This NJ-based hard rock band is co-managed and produced by Carmine Appice, who chose Pete as the winner in his “Next Drum Prodigy” contest for his Realistic Rock For Kids DVD 10 years ago.  Now signed to WorldSound/AWal Entertainment, the group is releasing 3 singles this summer as they play festivals and make TV and radio appearances, plus live concerts, and get ready for an album later this year.

Goodbye  

There’s only clouds in our sky
Tears in your eyes
And by the look on your face
There is something you’re not telling
When I say your name
You don’t even look my way
Oh baby hear me out, what is it that you’re feeling?

Chorus: I won’t say goodbye
To our good times
I won’t say goodbye
To our good times
Tell me it’s alright
Is it over?

I can’t take this distance
And you won’t even listen
I don’t understand how this could be happening
I look back at what we had
To try and find what was different
I just pray the answer will keep us from crumbling

Pre Chorus: repeat
Chorus repeat
By Pete Biggiani, Chris Biggiani,  TJ Haefner, Eric Dalton

Spirited Instrumentals

 Spirited music is our name and game and work! :)
All my New York City-area friends are invited to the Cutting Room, on Friday, April 27, at 7:30 PM for  Legends of Boston.
Who are these Boston musicians? Two different acts: Magic Dick & Shun Ng AND Johnny A. (and his guitars.)
Magic Dick is J. Geils' harmonica player and Shun is an entertaining acoustic guitar player, and he reminds me of an acoustic Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen rolled into one with a voice inspired by Michael Jackson. In fact, Quincy Jones says he was blown away by both Shun's  "soul and his science – his creativity and his uniqueness is astounding.” 

This is their song: SPACE, which is available for licensing. 
Follow the link for their cover of "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxAZ3YyjtPg
Johnny A. and his guitars cover the Left Banke's “Walk Away Renee”: https://youtu.be/9IRetoeEecc
He'll be doing a set of British Invasion SongBook.  

This is the link to order tickets for Magic Dick & Shun Ng and Johnny A.. https://tickets.thecuttingroomnyc.com/event/1655553

The Cutting Room is at 44 East 32nd Street, in New York, and the phone number is 212-691-1900. The website is http://thecuttingroomnyc.com.
