About Me

kHz iz------
Raiana- all voices
Pull- Guitar, keyboards and programming
Will Wood- bass
Joe Migz- drums

"Darkly atmospheric with boulder-heavy riffs-this band could get Bela Lugosi moshing” - Revolver Magazine

"kHz has a crunchy, machine-like, almost nine inch nails feel. For the alienated, pissed off, rebellious youth, we prescribe a daily dose of kHz." - Hit Parader Magazine

NEW YORK - On April 22, 2008, kHz returns with their much-anticipated new CD Disconnected. Musically, Disconnected pairs the classic heavy kHz sound with a raw power and emotion that was previously only experienced through it’s frenetic live shows. kHz continues to blur the lines between what is expected and what is accepted!

Whatever you call it - Rock, Hard Rock, Heavy Rock, Alternative, Alternative Metal, Experimental Metal – kHz is bound by the concept of rocking hard while also being themselves. Influenced by everything from The Cure, Pink Floyd, The Misfits and Iron Maiden to recent acts like The Deftones, A Perfect Circle and Marilyn Manson, each kHz member’s extreme combination of influences resonates throughout Disconnected. Add a guest appearance on guitar by Dave Navarro (on two tracks) and you’ve got the makings of something very special.

Disconnected is comprised of 15-tracks pairing ethereal sonic textures and passionate melodies with a fist-full of crunching guitars, interesting drum parts and a vocalist that can run the gamut from soft to guttural screams. Conceptually, the songs all touch on feelings of alienation at being "Disconnected" from an increasingly fast-moving digital and cynical world. Opening track "Disassemble" asks the question "Will you crack the surface and dive in whole hearted and open minded?" Well…will you?

The last we heard from kHz they were making the global rounds promoting 2005’s Reality On A Finer Scale.” The CD went on to spend 14 weeks in the top 20 most requested song charts on SIRIUS radio's "OCTANE," while also garnering the band an AIM TV award for “Best Indie American Latino Band.” kHz’s music also appeared in several films including Return Of The Living Dead and Drive-Thru, in addition to being a featured band on Dave Navarro's radio and TV shows "Spread Entertainment."

Between live performances, kHz guitarist/producer, Pull, produces & remixes releases from major artists including Shinedown, Mick Jagger, Rob Thomas, LiL Kim, Diddy and Jewel, among others. Pull also creates music for television shows CRIBS and the US Open for which he won the "Sportel" award and received two Emmy nominations. Pull has directed and edited each of kHz’s highly acclaimed music videos that have circulated the Internet nonstop while being added to rock video pools that service clubs all over the country.

Lead Singer Raiana has embraced her dynamic range of abilities. She has been featured in Maxim Magazine’s new Bacardi advert for Mojito, Guitar Player magazine for Samson products, "Best Buy" stores across the country on microphone boxes and she is the official Spread Radio Live Vixen, where she models Dave Navarro's custom clothing line for his radio station. You can expect to see much more of Raiana's modeling this year as she continues to receive offers.

kHz is set to release their new CD "Disconnected" in April of 2008!

So now was gonna be the risky part, we play a remixed version of "Whole Lotta Love" in a different key etc and we wanted Dave to play it with us. So I spring it on him in sound check, I could see he was hesitant, rightfully so, I mean the guy has played that song verbatim for god knows how long and now we want him to basically just wing our version. So I ask him to listen to us do it once and then decide....by the second chorus he was on stage wailing....it was off the hook as the kids now say. So I explained the arrangement one more time and we ran it together and he was like yup...let's do it. we were stoked! From this point on the night starts to blur so without further adieu, here are some video clips and pictures of our west coast release party at the viper room. I wish there was better sound but hey, something is better then nothing. Once again we wanted to thank Dave for taking out the time to come play with us, we know it was a lot for him to do and we are truly grateful as it was a career highlight.

Thank you to Ambersonian for these videos!

Then Some Chillin back stage.


Now for NYC! I will keep this one more brief.



NYC was bad ass on so many levels, We live there and have not played in almost 2 years so it was great to be back on stage in front of our hometown fans and friends. Once again everyone came out and it was great to see it all unravel.

We played Crash Mansion in NYC and the club was also so cool with us, I mean they even surprised us on stage in the middle of our set with a bottle of champagne and 4 glasses to toast the album coming out, that was a first!



Some cool ass people were there like John from "Talking Metal" on FUSE who introduced us (that is one SUPER nice guy btw). Kayla from SIRIUS Octane was there (a total bad ass chick), Legendary Tattoo artist Paul Booth, American Latino TV was there (as well as in LA) and so many others that I know I am forgetting. DJ Tim NO 37 was Djing the night and setting an awesome vibe, our new friends "End of an Era" opened the show (another bunch of super nice guys). The show was a blast, that hometown crowd energy just filled the room and that always leaves a lasting impression.



So here are some photos and videos of our east coast release party in NYC at Crash Mansion.

So in closing, thanks again to all who made it out and all who helped make these nights happen. These things are always so hectic and we wish we could have talked to more of you after the shows and we apologize for those we missed. If we could do this in every city believe us we would and are trying. We have a lot more photo's and videos coming so make sure you join the blog or mailing list. Right now we are still putting together dates and taking some time to finish the first video.

The new album "Disconnected" is out now SO GO GET YOURS NOW!!!!!!


"Buy the new album now!"
