The Kin drummer is Shakerleg. He completes the pyramid of the sound. He threw his sticks away some time ago and he makes sounds with his bare hands. The music of The Kin is in his veins. Isaac and Thorald will also have blogs, but here is Shakerleg’s Blog housed graciously on the Modern Drummer website. Enjoy and spread the blog to your friends~!

Set in an abrasive and economically devastated New York City, “The Price” tells the story of two outlaws and the bounty hunter who pursues them. Inspired by Italian Westerns of the 1960s, the film is a mash-up of “A Fistful Of Dollars” and “Mad Max” with a little “Escape From New York” to complete the highly stylized vision of this production. The film stars Carlos Gallardo (“el Mariachi”), Solomon Trimble (“Twilight”), Mali Elfman, Michael May & James St. Vincent.
Directed by long time friend and cohort, James St. Vincent, The Price is gaining some serious indie attention from Sundance to Comic Con. The Kin performed the original score and wrote the title track of the same name. The Kin also appeared in the movie as bounty hunters. Watch the trailer!

The Kin became aware of the hit documentary, ‘Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead’, in the middle of recording their album The UPside with Jack Douglas. Jack sent Joe Cross his original board mixes for the intrumental tracks used and The Kin wrote a song specifically for the movie called ‘Sunlight’. To celebrate the official release of the film, The Kin are set to release the Sunlight EP, which includes all the songs from the movie featuring The Kin, including the new song ‘Sunlight’.
The movie shows the benefits of eating and juicing veggies, so simple. People are watching the movie and changing their lives with how they eat. Check out their facebook page and join the movement they have started. We are glad to be a part of it! I, T, S
