PRESS AND FANS: SOME PUBLISHED QUOTES AND COMMENTS
KChari –“Power trio”
David Eduardo Eduardo -Athens Banner-Herald 01-19-06
[KChari] plays melodic pop music that dramatically struts around alternative rock, weaving in strands of jazz and world music.” -Flagpole (Athens) 2006
“KChari’s luminous melodies and superb dynamics charmed the room while their confessional narratives held the attention, as if revelations from a secret dream"
Coy King -Flicker Theater Athens 2006
“Absolutely superb! The most original and unique song I've heard lately! The strange sound (is it a gong?) that goes simultaneously with the vocals is absolutely superb…intellectual sounding. There is nothing I could compare this sound with. Absolutely superb! Off to join the fan club!”
-Split, Croatia via internet 2005
“What better venue than the Flicker Theatre to host a trio whose songs elicit a silver-screen essence?”
David Eduardo -Athens Banner-Herald on 2006
“KChari’s songs, like it’s musical style, draw from a diverse array of sources.”
–Matt Quinn -The Red and Black (Athens) 2006
“KChari's "Power Out" would fit comfortably within the score during the denouement of any Hollywood movie featuring glamorous folks in precarious situations. The drama has unfolded and the protagonists narrowly escape villains or a sinking maritime marvel, seconds before a sunrise.”
David Eduardo -Athens Banner-Herald 2006
“KChari is a fantastic trio with a unique sound. They play a wonderful set pleasing to the entire audience. Great job, always welcome at PJ’s”
Jennifer Evans -Manager PJs Woodstock 2005
“Mysterious. -Great arrangement with the keys and vocals. They play off each other beautifully.
The vocalist really grabs your attention with the raspy voice. Very original lyrics…” -jfcasey Germantown, Tennessee via internet 2005
“Miriam's melancholy vocals, the synthesized piano and the tragic urgency of the electric cello come together in compositions that can be described, oddly enough, as alt-rock show tunes performed by classically trained musicians.”
David Eduardo -Athens Banner-Herald on 2006
“Reminded me of ‘rock classical’ very talented musicians. Smooth and appealing for our coffee shop.” Roger Rhea –Manager Jatema 2006
“Best i've heard! Love the voice... Her voice sounds so angry, I like how you loop the voice.
I like this music… interesting, everything sounds really, really original. How come this isn’t on the radio yet??? Lyrics are awesome. 1:38 is cool, I like how the piano gets harder, Wow! You've definitely got a good thing going on here! Love it! Good work! I'll be looking for your CD!”
–emmy Lewiston, Maine via internet 2005
