It made me laugh… has anyone else had the internet do anything funny with their SOK music??

“We are about to leave for a series of gigs in California, USA throughout February. And soon after that, in March ,we will be going over to Auckland, New Zealand.  We are also trying to make something happen in the Netherlands for later this year. We will be in Sydney for some concerts from 16-20th September and later this year we will also plan a Melbourne Concert….”

make sure you head over to the official SOK gigs page for all the latest information!

that fantastic blog The Blah Blah has done it again and put together a wonderful interview with Matt Jacoby here.

make sure you head over there and read it all. my favourite question: “Sons of Korah don’t necessarily fit into the typical “Christian Music” genre. What do you make of the term? Love it? Hate it? Don’t care?” Matt’s answer is revealing and quite spot on!
So get over there and make sure you leave a good comment, let the team at The Blah Blah know you want more s.o.k. from them and let them know you’ve clicked over there from us here. thanks!

if you are reading this from the USA then there is a pretty good chance that you bought your s.o.k. albums from the good old Family Christian Stores. the Family stores have a big website and on that website they have a pretty good interview, leaning more to the spiritual side of things, with leader Matt Jacoby.

good quote: “The psalms fit so well into life because they came out of real life situations.”

the interview is here.

and by the way, next time you are either in a Family store or on their website, please do the band a big favour and let the powers that be that you want more s.o.k.!!

here’s what she says: “My order came today! What order, you may ask? Well, my order of the first CD by Sons of Korah and the DVD of one of their live 2006 concerts….”

is it just me or does it make me just a little bit misty eyed when i think there are people who are just discovering this band for the first time now? does it make you remember when you first real “got” s.o.k.? i’ll write about my first experiences with s.o.k. at a later date, but if you have a great story about your first introduction to s.o.k. i’d love to hear about it!

here is a great read about s.o.k. over on the fantastic music blog “the Blah Blah”.

bottom line quote: “They’ve done a really phenomenal job of transferring the words of the Psalms into modern songs.”

plus they have a link to two s.o.k. songs for download or streaming!

so please head over to The Blah Blah and leave a comment on the story – let them know you found out about it here {tell ‘em dj paine sent ya!} and you want more about s.o.k. !!

please feel free to hit me up on the comments with ideas, or check out the “about” link above for more information.

cheers
