November 5, 2009 - Thursday 
Sorry for the delay on everything, but things at camp kadman have been a bit hectic. We're please to announce two big items:

The first is that Kadman's sophmore release is almost ready to see the light of day. We've been hard at work at Mobtown Studios in Baltimore, and November 17th we're headed down to virginia to master 10 new tracks. We're really proud of what we've done and we think you'll love it. Stay tuned as we're going to start posting new tracks on our myspace page and our official home page.

The second bit of news is that the band is about to hit the road. We're headed to the great midwest the first week of December to play shows in Indianapolis, Chicago, Detroit, and others. Take a look at our calendar to keep up on where we'll be, and let us know if you'll be able to come. This is our first jaunt this far and if it's anything like our New York trip, it's going to be a blast.

Thanks for being patient with us, and we'll be putting new songs, new dates, and even more news up in the coming months.

Kadman Sings Slower And Louder

By Al Shipley | Posted 5/29/2009

It's only been a year since Baltimore shoegaze trio Kadman released its debut album, Sing to Me Slower, but the band has been quickly developing and changing since then. The only member left from that album's lineup is founding singer/guitarist David Manchester, and the material being worked on for the follow-up shows the benefits of a new rhythm section. On Thursday night, Kadman played a brief set at the Metro Gallery to showcase some of the new songs, and the new lineup's take on the old songs.

Upright bassist James Bahleda is a valuable addition, and some of the best moments of the band's set came when he held down the melody while Manchester let a little feedback ring out. Unfortunately, Bahleda was drowned out by the rest of the band a little too often, and hopefully will be more audible at future shows. Manchester's introduction for "Honeymoon's End," explaining how the song was inspired by his own actual honeymoon, gave a new dimension to one of the band's best tunes. And the band closed with a surprisingly uptempo new song that may help break Kadman out of the self-imposed slow and low limitations of their previous material.

The Thursday show was opened by Porcelain Doll Club, a solo singer/songwriter who appeared a little nervous and inexperienced, but gave a pleasant, ingratiating performance. The real gem of the show was the other opener, Birds and Arrows, a husband/wife duo from North Carolina. Singer/guitarist Andrea Connolly's sweetly smoky voice and twangy tunes with Pete Connolly's complementary harmonies and bombastic drums combined to create one of the more complete, full-bodied sounds ever to come out of a two-person band. The only frustrating thing, however, was that the killer standout of Birds and Arrows' set, "Not Interested," is a newer tune not yet available on record. But, like Kadman, their previews of unreleased songs made a good case for keeping an eye out for a future release date.

Kadman to release Mobtown Studios' Microshow CD FREE

April 17, 2009 - Friday 

Current mood:  accomplished
Category: Music
A few months back, Kadman had the honor of working with Mobtown Studios to record two new songs. Well, sort of new. These are the final songs recorded with the original lineup of Mitch on bass and Matt on drums. The first track is currently untitled. If you have any ideas, we're all ears. The second, is a re-recording of the first track off of Sing To Me Slower, Blue Walls. We took the song in a completely new direction, transforming it into a long, experimental journey of sound and texture. Feel free to have a listen and let us know what you think. There's a chance that one, or both of these tracks will be re-recorded with the new cast of characters for our next album.

Enjoy!

What people say about Kadman

Indie for Bunnies
"...Drawn with heavy black shades, Kadman's music paints a picture of landscapes that have been frozen in time, where the only things that move are dead leaves carried away by the wind. Epic. Myspace record of the week..."


Mobtown Studios
"Lazy Sunday afternoon recovery music. Minimalist shoegaze sleepytime music. It's vulnerable. It's not safe. I'm looking forward to giving this record some serious play..."

SEN Baltimore
