Kleen

Kleen’s legacy began in 2005 with the band Unloaded. Unloaded was a 4-piece guitar-driven band (Bob D., Chris D., Lei S,) that was focusing upon creating and playing original recovery music. Bob and I co-wrote our first song, Go I. This song has morphed through several different presentations; however, any time we do it live it is at least a 7-minute anthemic rocker during which Bob always catches a little Jimmy Page and just shreds the central guitar pieces. It is a fun song to play. By 2006, we had amassed enough original material to make our first foray into the studio and recorded UNLOADED at the end of that year. We recorded that EP with Bud Snyder at his Spirit Garden studio on Siesta Key (which later became Spirit Ranch). The EP contains five (5) songs: Crawling and SurrendHer written by me; Go I co-written with Bob; Time written by Bob and Careless written by my friend Keith Otte. While it was a valiant sophomore effort it never moved beyond local distribution.
