Why doesn\'t Tim or Adrian sing in Kung Fu??

I really like the fact that KF is instrumental. Of course someone could sing and it would be great, but the instruments speak for themselves. I could listen to them jam on Actual Proof all day.
Are you ser?

not a knock on Adrian or anything, but he\'s far from a great singer.  I think he\'s best off focusing on drumming.  As for Tim, I\'m sure if he really wanted to, he could get Kung Fu to let him sing a song or two, but I doubt he\'s really interested in it.

i think that tim will likely start to sing more with kung fu as he writes more songs for that band. he sings so many nights a month what with being the primary vocalist in the breakfast and all his solo shows. with the breakfast on hiatus and the fu taking more and more of his solo time, i think you will see more eventually. he has to write some material first. i\'m not there to hear adrian sing.

i think the band should get rid of stoops altogether, add a couple tubas, make adrian play with just one hand, and give tim a keytar and a kazoo to replace that stupid guitar

also, rob and dave should switch instruments

but that\'s all

I see Kung Fu as primarily an instrumental group, similar in style to the killer jazz/rock fusion bands of the 70\'s.


Completely agree.

My normal is weird. Zuke\'s weird is not normal.

Kung Fu is a seriously kick ass instrumental band. Any vocals is just for some fluff. Not a big deal.

KF isn\'t a vocal band...
TBs vocals were never great...  Ron and Chris can sing well... Tim is okay...  Matt always sounded like Peter Brady singing When It\'s Time To Change and Adrian, well, shouldn\'t be singing aside from his part in Buquebus, which Tim seems to have taken over...

Right.


Boon or Boom is out of the rotation and probably has not been played for a year or more.  I asked Tim to play it at a solo acoustic show and he declined.  since set lists are not posted and few shows are recored. who knows?  maybe its being held back for a studio release?

Sorry, but I stand by my comment...  It\'s not bad, but when he\'s singing, it always sounds like a teenager who had just taken a pull from a helium balloon is singing... That being said, he sure can hit the skins...

It\'s always been my belief if their vocals matched their playing they would have been unstoppable. It\'s the number one complaint about The Breakfast which really can\'t be argued against.
