BACKGROUND/HISTORY
Konniption Fit was originally formed in the year 2004 b singer/guitarist Jason Caine & drummer Keith James. With the addition of a longtime friend & former bandmate, Eric Vancil on bass, the band was complete and started off as a power trio. Hitting the music scene hard from the get-go, Konniption Fit played several shows within a few months of forming, including Detroit's St. Andrew's Hall. Unfortunately, due to personal reasons, Keith James left the band shortly after it had begun, and thus the band went on hiatus for a short time, waiting for the opportune moment to re-emerge.
In the Fall of 2006, that time had come. The power trio reformed & picked up right where they'd left off. During the Winter of 2006 & Spring of 2007, Konniption Fit recorded the four song EP, "Caricatures" at The Loft studios located in Saline, Michigan with producer/engineer, Andy Patalan at the helm. During this time, they continued to gig on a regular basis, spreading the music & the word that Konniption Fit had arrived.
In the early Summmer of 2007, guitarist Lacey & backing vocalist Amber Cat were recruited to help thicken the Konniption Fit sound, improve & diversify the live performances, while also adding a new dimension to the band's overall image & energy. Since the addition of the two girls, the band has been more driven than ever, playing gigs, promoting via every medium possible & working hard to spread the music & show that is Konniption Fit.
Discography
CARICATURES - The EP
The debut EP, "Caricatures" captures Konniption Fit's ability to write diverse material, yet showcase a sound that is cohesively unique & distinctly their own. Produced & recorded by Andy Patalan (Sponge, Solid Frog, Throttlebody, etc) at the infamous Loft studios in Saline, Michigan, "Caricatures" is brimming w/ hook-laden, ear-candy, pop bliss contrasted with crunchy, guitar-driven modern rock, creating a sound with mass-crossover appeal. This is a band that isn't afraid to sound like themselves, & while having many influences, taps into those influences to create something new & fresh. |
