KAURA is an American, progressive, alternative rock band from Berkeley, California.
Kaura is a band formed in 2005 by Malcolm Guess and Benjamin Jones.[1] The band has been invited to open for the likes of TOOL, Rob Zombie, and Godsmack by Bill Graham Presents in its home turf of the Bay Area.[2] The band's sound is recognizable by its trademark use of ancient instruments like Hammered Dulcumer,Indonesian Gamelan, and Indian Tabla as well as delayed guitars, and an epic and aggressive sound. The band self-released a debut EP in 2005 which featured Paz Lenchantin from A Perfect Circle and Zwan on the track Dividing Lines.[3] The band is supposedly finishing up its first full length album which is rumored to be released on a major in 2008. The band did some of the recording for this album with Producer/Engineer Sylvia Massy, known for her work with TOOL, System of a Down, and Rick Rubin among others. [4] The band has developed a strong and dedicated fanbase across the globe through its extensive video blogs which have documented their world travels, and their recordings.
As of December 2007, on the band's myspace page, their were tourdates throughout the Southwest of America.[5]
