The NIC Sentinel
by Bill Canepa Sentinel Reporter I fir..1 glance. ii looks like an old vinyl LP. But upon opening 1hc blnck box, a package of mulli-medio mu,ical an i~ unlca,hed in 1he fonn of digirnl ,ound,. on-line access, personal confc,~ions and wmercolor. Thi, offering•~ local allernn1ivc-rock band Kuc·~ ftm ambittou~ pro;ecl <?ntllled "Gravi1y." "\Ve wan1cd 10 make something that somebody could get into." said Mike Koep. Ki1c·~ drummer/lyrici\1/dcsigncr/ painter and NIC alumnus. And that they have. "Gravity" is a title given not only 10 lheir CD. but 10 a package 1ha1 includes a 22-page color lyric book, complete wilh a different wa1ercolor pnin1ing for each of 1he 11 songs: a 70-page booklet with exocrp1, from Koep' s peri.onol journal caialoging the band', grow1h from ftri.1 meeting~ 10 the album's release: a Kile logo , iicker. liner notes th:u include thank you~ 10NIC insm1ctors Don and Debra Sprague. Gerard Ma1hes and Tim Rarick. and inforn1niion on 1hcir web sile. The packaging idea came from 1hc band's passion for those big, blacl.. ou1of-daie records thai have all but ,•anished from existence. "We're all big fons of vinyl," Koep said. "h make~ our mou1hs wa1er." The p3inttng.s originated from Koep himself. He wrote the lyrics for Kite's 11 ~ongs, and upon their completion. he 100k a step back and noticed something:
A
Each song seemed to repreM:nt a differenl image in his mind. ·'Afler wri1ing lhe lyric:.. I stancd seeing pictures." Koep said. Each of 1he paintings has 1hc same central chamcter: a facele.,.~. genderless. featureles~ human set in 11 different ~itunLion~. each bcfi1ting the lyrical content of the song 11 reprcM:nl(. The originals can be found on di,playin coffee shops and record stores nround the Spokane and Coeur d'Alene area. The web site (www.kitegravity.com) materialized at the hand:. of lead vocalist and composer Monte Thompson who designed the si1e and constructed all of lh<l graphics therein. The site includes a mock biography for each of the band member... Koep·s paintings. a reprinting of "how 10 fly a kiic.'' current band infonnntion and various link~. The journal evolved after Thomp:.on usked Koep to wri1c up a "thrilling" biography for the band':. w<?b site. Koep said hc Wll\11' 1 100 keen on the idea, bu1 he soon re:ilized lh ut every band has a bio. and he began compiling excerpls from his personal journal that were rc::laiive to the band. They were then typed. put in chronological order. bound end cntiilcd "how 10 fly a kite." The package can be purchased for S2 l.95 at the Long Ear on Government Way, 4000 Mole~ and Rock City Mu~ic in Spokane and Ground Zero in Sandpoint. So, if they· vc gotten all of thh, together, why aren't they more well
known? Primarily because they have yet to play a live ~how locally. Actually. they have never played live, period. And don't expect to ~cc any posters for upcoming concerts in the immediate future because, according 10 Thompson. their first show isn't scheduled until April or Moy (1en1:11ivcly). This is primarily becaus.:: that the drummer and the buss player nrc roaming the Mcditcrrancan with their ~ide band called Manito. Kile con,isL~ of Koep. Scou Charkson on lend guitar. Doug Smith on bas~. keyboard~ and backing voc.als. and Thompson, who ~ings lead vocals. plays gu,1nr;, wrote the music for Koep·~ lyric~. cr..:atcd th..: web site und collnbomied wi1h Koep in 1he designing of"Gmvity." Although a great deal of work wem imo the extras that surround it. "Gravity" is still abou t the music. Kite's style isn't c.asy 10 put ii finger on. or identify. even for Koep himsclf. " It's music we like to lis1cn 10," he said, citing possible similarities to Jame~ Taylor. Alice in Chains, the Dave Munhews Band and Queen. A more accurate comparison would be a mixture of the Candlcbox and Crosby. Stills and Nash. And there' s even a little Sinatr:, thrown into the mi:< in the form of"Laughablc," the album's novelty track that sounds as if it was recorded at Tub~ or Mad Daddy's. Koep said his biggest innucncc came
from the greo1es1 rock · n' roll bi.'11 time. " If I had to pick om:," he~· would be 1he Beatles. They had everything." When Thompson mentions h~ musical innuenccs, he speaks of legends like John Coltrane and tlic rock band Ycs. Koep und Thompson. Kite's n met years ago when Thomp,on ~ playing acouqic gigs in nn unoo. pub that once re~idcd where the d'Alene Plata now Mnnm on S He would continually make tnpll local music shop 10 replace brol<1 strings. h was Lh.::re he met sal~ Koep.
