Been lamenting for the past decade that guitar playing died with the birth of Nirvana? Been lamenting that no one has heard much from James Brown since prison? Help is here, brothers and sisters, from a nearby planet called "K", from a string-strangling boy named Kevin. Dig, if you will...

Kevin Schafer has released an independent CD called "Invasion from Planet K" that is guaranteed to blow your hair back faster than a ride in my convertible. Kev will have you stompin' to his sizzling brand of funk-rock and drooling over his amazing guitar chops, complete with Shaft-like wahs, lightning fast licks, seriously deep groves, & a certain furious cool.

Yes, Kevin Schafer delivers, boys & girls. Can I get an "amen!"?

Kevin kicks off this 10 song disc with a song called "Sucker Punch". Yeah (insert Isaac Hayes voice here)....followed by a host of other tunes that feel like Jeff Beck & Eddie Van Halen gunning hard over songs by Jan Hammer and Prince.

The groove stays cool & deep and the guitar work hot & flashy. Kevin Schafer has scored BIG, and fans of funky, fusionistic guitar rock score even bigger when they pick up this amazing disc. From the soaring harmonics & wide vibrato of "Sugar City" to the wah-warped rhythms & long bends of "Butter Face" to the climbing chromatics & swirling lines of "Sparkle Motion" to the easy release of "If Forever...", Kevin delivers in spades.

Bottom line: If you like your music to sound like the soundtrack to an Evil Knievel stunt, stop reading and grab this CD NOW!
