Kings Kaleidoscope

So..... My intentions were to write about an underground hip-hop artist this week, but I incidentally had a change of heart at the last minute. I will, however, save my hip-hop artist for later so be awaiting in anticipation! ;D

I'd like to introduce, for those of you who do not know them, Kings Kaleidoscope. They are one of my favorite Christian bands of all time, and I do not have many. You may be thinking; "crap this crazy girl is about to preach to us with her Christian music..." haha. Well that, my friends, is not my motive for this blog. This band has incredible talent and expertise in music.

Kings Kaleidoscope is an indie rock worship band from a particular campus of Mars Hill Church. Mars Hill Church is a massive church that is based out of Seattle, Washington. It has recently expanded so much that locations have developed, not only in various other cities in Washington, but also several other states such as California, Oregon, New Mexico, and Arizona. Kings Kaleidoscope is simply one incredible band that leads worship at Mars Hill Church at the Ballard campus in Seattle, Washington.

Led by Deacon Chad Gardner, the band is made up of about a dozen extremely talented musicians. There is an enormous amount of diverse instrumentation including a string trio, a horns section, two drum kits, and I simply can not leave out the occasional cymbal or two.

There is so much work and brilliance put into this worship music. The most beautiful thing I love about their work is that they take old hymns, you know the ones we all HATE singing in church that make us feel like we want to cut our ears off,  and recreate the sound, rhythm, and virtually every aspect of the song. They take these old deceased, loathed hymns and revitalize them; pumping them full of life, vibrance, and immense creativity. It's quite beautiful and it truly does awaken the soul.

For those of you who do believe that there is a God and specifically Christ Jesus, this band will truly bless you. For those of you who may not believe or find your searching for something to believe in or, perhaps, you have lost all hope in belief this band is genuinely inspiring. Rarely, in media, we find bands made up of many types of musicians all coming together to create a symphany of authentic sound. Kings Kaleidoscope is that band and I would completely and totally recommend them to anyone of any walk of life. ENJOY!! :D
