Kung Foo Preacher
- Sound Description:
- Pop-edged metal and hard rock, sometimes splashed with electronic touches
Based in Dallas, TX
Kung Foo Preacher's music is the vision of eccentric singer/songwriter Ben Power. Helping define and realize this vision are long-time childhood friends Noel and Carlos Contreras. Rounding off the circle is veteran drummer John Covington (previously from seminal doom metal band Solitude Aeturnus). Together they mold this vision into a tangible, musical art form known as Kung Foo Preacher. The music is pop-edged metal and hard rock, sometimes splashed with electronic touches. It can be intellectual and thought provoking or it can just set a mood with lyrics and various musical weavings. The sound is unique and immediate, filled with excellent musicianship and a roller coaster of melodic and lyrical hooks.
Kung Foo Preacher is a different kind of band, focusing on making the music and performance a memorable and thought provoking event. Onstage they are eccentric and dramatic, with a flair for the grandiose and strange, often intensifying the stage show with lights fog and sometimes stage-props.
