4. What are the Solo Releases?
Solo Releases put out by the various members of the band. Part of the DK sound is very evident in each of the members Solo Releases. You can preview them here.
5. Why don't you come and play in [enter city here]?
It is very difficult and expensive for a band of our size to tour. All of us in Djam Karet have full time jobs, and in some cases families, outside of the music we make together. We have found in our almost 20 year history that our recorded works of music can travel much farther than we can as a band, so mostly we concentrate on making music and performing at festivals when we are fortunate to be invited.
6. Why don't you list who is soloing when? I get confused as there are 2 guitarists, 2 keyboardists and now 2 bass players!
Djam Karet is very much about the group sound being much more than the sum of the individual parts and players. It is all about the music for us and we want you to focus on that and not the face/image behind the music.
7. Is Gayle a girl? And what's up with those instrument heads?
Ah, no. But we have some funny letters over the years especially before we played festivals and continued to hide our faces behind those instrument heads!!!!
