Korean rock band and producer crew KAVE (abbreviation of Kings Always have Veiled Egos) has debuted with EP Flight of Ideas. The band is fronted by singer-songwriter Gaho as the lead vocalist and members Jisang (guitar), Hyun (keyboard), Ownr (keyboard, DJ), and Kekinu (drums). The members unique experience behind the scenes and as creators and performers have given them a rare expertise and insight into creating and sharing music aligned to their artistic vision.
At KAVE’s debut media showcase, held at Musinsa Garage in Mapo-gu, Seoul, on July 23, Gaho gave insight into their creation as the coming together of his friends from high school and college. Though the group was first formed to produce music, the idea of playing musical instruments was later introduced, and the band KAVE was born. Gaho shared his hopes that listeners and fans can come to separate Gaho, the solo artist, from KAVE’s Gaho and enjoy the different genres of music explored and released in the future.
Prior to KAVE’s official debut, Gaho was known as the voice behind Korea’s hottest drama OSTs, such as “Start Over” from Itaewon Class, “Running” from START-UP, and “Yellow Light” from King the Land. Jisang, Hyun, Ownr, and Kekinu worked as producers on Gaho’s solo albums as well as on many viral song covers such as BLACKPINK’s “Lovesick Girls,” “How You Like That” and ROSE’s “On The Ground.” The members were also active as producers and session musicians for tracks including SHINee’s “I Say,” THE BOYZ’s “White,” and Lee Jong Suk’s “Come To Me.”
Flight of Ideas includes seven self-composed, self-arranged tracks: “Venom,” “Legend,” “Hurricane,” “Dangerous,” “Avant,” “Crazy Crazy,” and “Die for U.” The title track, “Legend” is a hybrid electronic rock track with an intense and addictive hook. The textured vocals bring depth to the lyrics, which speak of conflict and struggle with one’s inner self or the alter ego. KAVE has also released a short-form video for “Venom,” which was produced by Team Us, who are known as the choreography team behind artists including BoA, NCT, and THE BOYZ. The band will make one of their first official appearances at the famed INCHEON PENTAPORT MUSIC FESTIVAL on August 2, 2024.
