Here's our most recent "bio", written by our friend Robert Sachs, which appeared in a Pabst Blue Ribbon ad in the Onion:

Kadafi’s sharp-edged melodies are coruscating through New York with a solid vigor to set your pulse on fire. From Tribeca to Tripoli, these Brooklyn rockers ignite rhythmic flashbombs in all clubs and corners to move you like the G train. Dig it, Boppers?

43 words:
1. Melodic high-energy - not mopey.
2. “Tripoli” build association to name.
3. End with Hipster reference to “The Warriors”
4. From Brooklyn
5. Rock Music.
6. Primary conceit is moving light.

REJECTED IDEAS
[Hip-hop] Kadafi been crackin’ in BK for a minute. You know these tune scientists set it off it the club. Hey man, when it’s hot, the pants come off.

[Westminster Dog Show] If music is a dog, Kadafi is a Wheaten Terrier. Puppy Nice.

[Scientology] Kadafi knows the Joy of Creating Music through the flawless application of 100% Standard LRH Tech. From their participation in Sea Org to their Concerts at Flag, this trio of OT’s will have you F/Ning with the precision to handle any mock up. Go on a rocket ride.

[White British breakdance rock] Kadafi is the latest member of Bristol, England’s explosive “Dice Rock” scene to break it down in New York. Blowing the fuzz from the buzz, packing gruff crunch with the soft touch, they’re drip-dropping the wild styles.

[Death Metal] Kadafi will make you feel like a woman when they cut off your dick and rip it through your mutilated corpse’s eardrums. Blargstrom, Norway’s most merciless disciplinarians are casting a shadow on New York with their War Hammer. Welcome back to the Slave Age, skunk. Crawl into line for your beating.

OBLIGATORY BIOGRAPHY

(the official "Sea of Mosh" press release)

A three man rock and/or roll band originally from Saugerties, NY, Kadafi has been rocking in the free world for ten years.  Driven by your basic rock and/or roll, rags-to-possible-riches pipe dream, Kadafi relocated to NYC five years ago on a single-minded mission to rock.  They arrived equipped only with their instruments and their mind-blowingly impressive good looks (see attached photo),  with no elaborate stage show to hide behind (yet), and no blow jobs to pass out to record company execs.  Basically: Kadafi is to blowing record company execs as 7-UP is to caffeine:  Never have and never will. Unlike 7-UP however, Kadafi's members contain their fair share of caffeine and other drugs ( i.e.  crack/cocaine). 

The music, you ask? It sounds exactly what a three man rock and/or roll band, armed with only their instruments, good looks, and crack/cocaine should sound like. Check out their second "official" album, Sea Of Mosh  (insert enclosed CD). Check out the Kadafi rock machine in full force on "Hard Worker", a kick-ass track fueled by  catchy hooks, musical variation, and some downright heavy shit . However, because of Kadafi's penchant for musical variation, "Hard Worker" really isn't decent represention of the band at all. If this paradox intrigues you, check out out Kadafi's softer side on "I Love You SO Much it Bleeds".

Curious?  You should be.  Go to http://www.warriors-of-rock.com to click on the hot and sexy photos of Michael Crowley (bass), Lucas Milligan (drums) and Aaron Magram (guitar/vocals). Only then can you can begin understanding the rock and/or roll extravaganza that is Kadafi.

BLANKET OF STUPID PRESS RELEASE

THE OFFICIAL KADAFI BIOGRAPHY (as seen by all those important music biz people)

Sometime late at night, you wake up and realize that soon half of your life will be over. It is at times such as these that a thousand little demons enter your thoughts and infect you with self doubt, loathing, and the undeniable realization that soon you are going to have to take a long look in the mirror and decide just what it is you are looking for.

You've tried sex, and what has that got you? Passionless physical encounters with drunken strangers, or failed romances held together too long because both of you are too afraid to be alone.

You've tried drugs, and where has that led? Passionless physical encounters with doped up strangers and the endless cycle of use. A whirlwind of monotonous limbo that destroys the boundaries of days, hours, and minutes until all that is left is the “when” and “if” of the next fix.

Its time to try rock and roll. KADAFI is, simply put, a rock and roll extravaganza. For the last two years, KADAFI has honed its musical skills, playing seedy dives in and around upstate New York. Now armed with an outstanding arsenal of songs, a lust for musical innovation, and a BRAND NEW album entitled “Blanket of Stupid”; KADAFI is upping the ante and taking the battle for straight up good music to NYC and beyond!

KADAFI combines its strong punk roots with masterful pop craftsmanship. We add to this blend the ear-orgasmic acrobatics of guitar phenomenon Aaron Magram, the rhythmic foundation of twelve-year veteran drummer Lucas Milligan and bassist Mike Crowley. Is the result some crude mixture of various genres in a vain attempt to cash in on as many markets as possible? Hardly! KADAFI strives to take in all that is musical, and create a fusion of rock styles.

Part of the reason for this fusion is due to the variations of musical backgrounds represented. Aaron’s songs combine his desire for a catchy, hook-laden melody with a progressive rock structure. Mike’s bass lines strive for the music to be at times simple and effective, and at other times complex. Lucas brings a strong set of beats into the mix that expands the musical territory into other genres such as punk, hip-hop and jazz.

 “Blanket of Stupid”, produced by Puge Ruhe, is a six-song representation of this rock fusion.  Recorded live with little overdubbing and mixed quickly in just a few days, the songs are raw and give the listener a strong example of their energetic live show.  Various musical moods are represented; ranging from the epic six-minute prog-meets-pop-meets-disco-meets-punk of “Road Beer” to the simple brooding uncertainties conveyed by “Tempered Thoughts”.

So, stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
