Kane joins forces with the insanely talented lead guitarist, Xander Demos and the virtuoso musicians of XDB.
Statement from Xander Demos and XDB: "We would like to introduce the new Xander Demos and XDB vocalist: Mr. Robert Kane. Robert’s vocals are absolutely incredible and if you’re into great prog-rock vocalists, you are in for a treat. Please help us welcome Rob to XDB!"
Kane said of XDB, "Man, these guys are loaded with talent! Xander is a monster player and everyone in the band are masters of their instruments. Our first practice was comfortable, relaxed, no stress, like we'd played together for years. Of course, when you've been playing for as long as these guys have, and possess the talent and professionalism these guys have, it's easier to gel so quickly. It was a fun time and there's no egos with these guys. I'm really looking forward to performing with these XDB, and I might get even to play rhythm guitar here and there as well. I'm excited to see what musically develops with XDB. It's going to be a fun time."
Xander Demos is a high-energy rock and metal guitar player from Pittsburgh, PA. He is fueled by the passion to create melodic songs ranging from rock and metal genres to pop and ambient. Xander normally is associated with the rock and metal world but his versatility allows him to be comfortable in many forms of music.
The Xander Demos Band (XDB) has been active since early 2011 and contains four extremely talented musicians backing Xander and his guitar pyrotechnics. They have had the great pleasure of playing shows with likes of Neil Zaza, UFO, The Dio Disciples, Uli Jon Roth, Buckethead, Lizzy Borden, Adrenaline Mob, Symphony X, Helstar, Firehouse, and Kip Winger.
The latest version of XDB features Guy Cole on drums, Brendan Callahan on keyboards and guitar, Paul Ricciuti on bass and the latest edition, Rob Kane on Lead Vocals.
Kane's first performance with the band was at the Crafthouse Stage and Grill in Pittsburgh, PA supporting Bad Marriage and Enuff Z'nuff. Catch XDB next at a Smalls Tribute to KISS, Live at the Funhouse at Mr. Smalls, Pittsburgh, PA on Friday April 12th.
