"Egan's and Khazak - Two Names to Remember"

...Ah, yes, and that brings me to the music. This is my second chance to hear Khazak, headed up by the melodious and moody Michele Khazak, play. Her vocals are some of the best I’ve heard and she has a stylistic range to blow your mind. I have heard her cover both Bjork and Stevie Wonder, a feat that I suspect few would attempt. She and her talented band were able to transform both styles into their own, making you aware of common threads between the two that were previously unbeknownst. However, it isn’t their covers, impressive though they are, that impress me most. Instead, it is the original pieces that are most pleasing; they are introspective, moody and wryly funny. Michele is a extraordinary talent and I expect that she’ll present a real force to be reckoned with in the local scene, in no time at all. So, if you’re hungry for some local talent I recommend you check out Khazak. - Go Local With Magdalene

Bio

Khazak is the Hebrew word for strength.

We are four musicians and friends from different backgrounds bringing influences including blues, soul, salsa, Brazilian, klezmer, country, and good old rock and roll.

We play both original music and covers. When the songs are covers, we make them our own. When the songs are original pieces, they are for everyone.

The music is accessible and intelligent; playful and dark; arranged and improvised; groove oriented and contemplative.

We play for work, we play for fun, we play because it's what we do. This quartet is the core group, but each of us plays with a variety of Seattle based groups and musicians (Including but not limited to : Picoso, Threat of Beauty, Bethurum, Cytosoul.) Each of us has an individual musical identity, and we come together to create a sound that is (pardon the cliché) greater than the sum of its parts.
