LifeinPursuit

Artist Information

Biography

The central idea behind the band LifeinPursuit is that of a constant motion, a fervent endeavor of life, love, God, and the unknown. That is the focal point of the three-piece group hailing from the Hamakua Coast on The Big Island of Hawaii. The members, consisting of brothers Chase and Carl Kauhane and longtime friend Ryan Higgins, grew up together, and in 2009, after playing music together for a number of months, decided to become a band officially. Since that time, they have been molding and shaping the original sound that they have now come to possess.

Stylistically, LIP's music is best described as beachy, laid-back, rhythm-based acoustic rock. LIP plays mostly originals, with lyrics ranging from complex and thought-provoking to simple and playful. All three band members contribute to the songwriting process, whichs creates a unique atmosphere of verbage.

LifeinPursuit currently leads worship regularly at their home church, Calvary Chapel Hamakua, and drops in to play at local open mics and other venues. They have also recently finished recording their first full length album at Grass Shack Records Studio. The LP, entitled ‘New Horizons’, was released in Jan 2011, and is available on CDbaby.com and itunes. The group continues to press out original sounds, with ideas always percolating like a fresh cup of coffee. Come be part of the experience as the pursuit continues.

They are young men who grew up on the northwest coast of the Island of Hawaii, and have been playing and writing music since their early childhood.
  They came to Grass Shack Records a little over a year ago, sat down and played informally most of the songs on their proposed album, New Horizons. I was impressed. Their song subjects, mature arrangements, sophisicated lyrics, their playfulness, and intelligent use of dynamics and compelling vocals resulted in songs that are engaging, refreshing and timeless.
  It was a complete joy to work with Ryan, Chase and Carl. I always looked forward to our studio sessions which were always full of fun and creativity.
  They have continued to write, and I have heard a number of fresh new songs , so if you find them as compelling as I, you'll be happy to know a second CD is in the birthing.
