Me I'm Supa Fly, Supa Dupa Fly...I can't stand the rain...

2011-12-04T05:48:00.000-08:00

Last night we played at Plan B in Brixton, for Supa Dupa Fly alongside our music fam Abiade and DJ Mamps on Decks. Of course we performed our collabo track The Lynx, which was electric.

Guitarist Ray celebrated his birthday at the gig too, we got him a cake, but didn't have a knife...so we used an Oyster Card. Thanks Mayor Of London.

No more gigs until 2012, but stay in the loop as we're working on a lil home made video for a track on the Dilatare EP.

Feel free to holla on Facebook and Twitter. And finally thanks for all the support so far guys, and we're looking forward to bringing fourth some great news for 2012 - watch this space.

Peace. x

2011-10-13T02:11:00.000-07:00

Abaide is a dope MC, and as you know, we joined forces to work on the collaboration track The Lynx , because we loved it so much we put it on our EP , and he put it on his LP (sharing music). Defo get involved in TIAM, it's a bad boy, so it's all about the support.

Abiade is growing from strength to strength, and to top it, he'll be supporting Basement Jaxx at Brixton Jamm on the 29th of October - D.O.P.E.

Another dope artist is Abiade. This is a lil' promo vid for his up an coming EP. You'll also catch a guest appearance from him on our Summer EP/Album 'dilatare' (date tbc).

Be careful if you don't like swearing here folks haha.

WE LOVE: GIRL IN A THUNDERBOLT - NITROGLYCERINE

2011-04-25T03:39:00.000-07:00

So as well as sharing The Kemistry music with you, it's probably a good idea to show you what other artists are repping in the underground realm. If you know about MINDIE ( the live music night) then you know that it's a given to do this.

Check out Nitroglycerine by Girl In A Thunderbolt. She's dope. We need to get on a line up together once again, maybe she can play at our EP launch. THE END.

Town Without Pity Our Gene Pitney (Demo Cover)

2011-04-18T02:52:00.000-07:00

Really love this track, thought it would be a nice and fun piece to cover, adding a bit of cheese to our collection. So we did.

50s, vintage, melodic sweetness.

Town Without Pity - Gene Pitney (Demo Cover) by thekemistry

Thoughts and Prayers...

2011-03-12T02:33:00.000-08:00

Before anything is posted, I'd like to dedicate this post to the people of Japan, who currently face an awful natural disaster that is beyond anyones control.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the sufferers of the tsunami, and all people of the world who suffer from natural disasters, destruction and pain that is beyond human control.

Lots of love Kemi...on behalf of The Kemistry. x

'Burden' By Kemi

2011-03-09T01:55:00.000-08:00

For those of you who love The Kemistry tunes and listen to lyrics, absorb them into your systems, and exhale with relief, here's a lil' set of words, a poem, for your reading pleasure. No music, just words...

Peace x

'Burden'

Burden, baggage, heavy swollen,

Weighing you down like your legs are chained,

Chained and bound to the ground, dumbfound,

Dumbfounding and confusing, no way to shift this feeling.

Until...

You shed the layers that leave you tight,

You shed those layers with all your might,

You spare those people that hurt you so,

And move on thinking there’s no worth, No...

Worth in holding the baggage, burden, heavy and swollen.

And breathe.

Ahhhh....
