Kulick releases new KKB album and single From :
Bruce Kulick
I am excited to announce the release of "Got To "Get Back" from KKB,
my first band. The CD opens with a brand-new song, “Got to Get
Back," that's catchy and a throwback to my youth. GOT TO GET BACK is
available in a collector’s package that includes the CD, an
exclusive guitar pick, two-sided photo card, and digital download
code.

KKB, Bruce Kulick's first band created back in 1974 with his local
friends, singer/bassist Mike Katz and drummer Guy Bois, are
releasing a brand new single and CD called 'Got To Get Back.' The
new single leads off the CD, which continues with 6 more songs they
recorded in 1974. The vintage tracks were revisited for 2015, and
the original tapes were totally remixed and remastered.
Kulick was fortunate growing up in Jackson Heights, NY to find other
talented local musicians who shared the same passion for the British
Invasion of rock. They lived within blocks of each other, with
drummer Guy's basement being the breeding ground for the musical
concoction they were creating. The young band rehearsed for months
before entering a studio in NYC capturing music that was urgent,
intense and compelling. Sadly, with no clear direction for the group
to follow the band never played together live, and ultimately went
their separate ways. Bruce continued on in the music world, playing
guitar with Michael Bolton, Meatloaf, KISS, and Grand Funk Railroad.
The music KKB recorded in 1974, however, sat idle on a tape in
Kulick's closet for many years. In 2008, Bruce bought a TEAC tape
deck at a local garage sale and decided to listen to the KKB
recording again. He loved it, and shared it with his friends, who
all agreed: "You must release this music for people to hear." The
vintage tape was transferred and, after some cleaning up of the
tracks,
KBB
- 1974 was released in 2008. The limited-run CD sold out
quickly.
An unexpected new chapter for KKB happened in 2013, when Mike found
the original session tapes. By using the actual tracks recorded,
Kulick had the opportunity to remix, remaster and get creative with
this music once again. But the discovery sparked something
substantially more interesting than simply polishing up 'old'
music'the desire for Bruce and Mike to create a new song for KKB, 40
years after its genesis.
As a result of KKB's rekindled fire, the trio wrote and recorded a
new song, 'Got To Get Back," a total throwback to their vintage
sound, style and vibe. Each band member recorded their parts in a
local studio'Guy in Paris, Mike in New York City, and Bruce in LA.
Further adding to KKB's renaissance, a string quartet, scored by
Bruce's longtime collaborator Jeremy Rubolino, was added to the
ballad "Someday," giving the song a shine that couldn't have been
imagined in 1974.
