Ring Of Fire Produced On iPhone 3GS

Being the ‘hand-me-down’ lover that I am, I ended up with my pal Leslie’s iphone, when she bumped up to a 4. It’s proven to be a great device for me and I’ve created an abundance of art with the thing; pics, vids and now, music.

Sure, I’ve used the microphone to record song ideas, thoughts, sex sounds and the like but now that Apple has released GARAGEBAND for the iOS devices, it’s literally a fukn studio in your damn poket.

On this recording RING OF FIRE, there are 6 analog audio tracks (2 guitars, 4 vocals) recorded via the iphone’s own mic and there are 2 digital tracks (bass, drums) played within the program. Here’s my take on recording with GARAGEBAND with an iphone. This song definitely deserves a video!

Its Time For Time

You know what, I just dug this out of a hard drive containing dozens of so-so recorded gems. I really think it’s great and now I’d like to recorded proper. Anyone want to help out? It’s worthy! Scroll down for lyrics and leave a comment.




“TIME” written and performed by Kamary Phillips

We’ve followed you for centuries
A million moments multiplied by infinity
Only God can shake the hands of time

Everyone needs time
We’ll change the world in time

Don’t forget the time, peace and tranquility
It lives and breathes in our humility
Don’t forget the sympathy that you lent to me
I’ll give it back in time

Everyone needs time
We’ll change the world in time
It all revolves around time

I remember the time when I was 15
I fell in love with a girl named Cindy
We played spin the bottle and she had to kiss me
That was my first time

Everyone needs time
We’ll change the world in time
You’ll get yours in time
We’ll find the cure in time
We’ll win the war in time
Once upon a time
Don’t waste your precious time
Until the end of time

We’ve followed you for centuries
A million moments multiplied by infinity
Only God can shake the hands of time

Everyone needs time
We’ll change the world in time
You’ll get yours in time
We’ll find the cure in time
Lets turn back the time
Once upon a time
All wounds are healed in time
Until the end of time

You know it’s time

Like it? Pass it around…

KPB live tonight at Amsterdam Cafe

Kamary Phillips

Hey Peeps!

There was meant to be an ACOUSTIC LOUNGE happening tonight at the Amsterdam Cafe in NOHO. Since some musicians flaked, we took the open slot last minute and will perform live, as a band.

Since it's late notice, I don't figure many of you are available to come out and visit us, live and in-person-like. So for all of you, feel free to tune in after 8.30 to see what we're concocting. We're keeping it loose and open, so if you're a talented singer/mc type, don't be shy to come down and muck around.

Here's a player to watch the show from the comforts of your living room.

Kamary Phillips Band Is Born Again

After several years of virtual nothingness, Kamary Phillips returns with an all new line up for an old act, KAMARY PHILLIPS BAND or KPB, that's been around the block at least once over the last decade. Follow the development of this exciting, original project right here!



The official Bio looks like this;

KAMARY PHILLIPS BAND or KPB was formed by Kamary Phillips, an American and European singer songwriter.

Kamary, who fell to obscurity following a brutal major label merger, returns to the spotlight once again performing his brilliant, soulful original catalog as well as original interpretations of rock, pop and soul classics.

KPB keeps it simple with the amazing Will Lovell (Long Beach Orchestra) playing Upright Bass, the energetic fireball known as Mark "JR." MacDonald (Wesley Music Ensemble, Plutonic) playing Drums and Kamary Phillips (Aimee Mann, Joe Cocker, Xavier Naidoo) sings and plays a mean Acoustic Guitar.

Kamary Phillips Returns To Solo

It's been a few years folks and a few crappy record deals since I last called myself KAMARY PHILLIPS in front of an audience. Well, the deals are far behind me although some of the tragedy lingers on.

Recently, I met a fine, young gent by the name of Will Lovell and after he explained to me that he plays my beloved Contra-Bass (the giant bass Jazzers bang on) I was inspired to ask him for a little jam session. About 20 minutes later, literally, we were playing music together.

A week or so later, I figured it was time for our first public outing. You know, to test the waters. Here for your listening pleasure is that wonderful sonic experience, less one song (I forgot to press record) and rest assured, there will be more to come. I dare say, I'm returning to professional music and with a vengeance. My goal, to win a Grammy. Go on, laugh it up. I'm giving myself 3 years from today. Mark it on your calendars.

NOHO New Years

We had a great, intimate New Years hang at the studio of the great Randy Emata. Since Randy moved into our neck of the woods, we've had a new and important center to our little community of "analog friends". I'm personally thankful for Randy's friendship and continuous generosity!

Here's a bit of jamming, which we actually don't do enough of when hanging at the studio. I had the honor of joining these A CLASS musicians while playing bass and singing on this "USE ME" interpretation.

Here's a right cool jam. I really like the drummer on this one. I don't know his name however. Since I don't own drums nor have a place to play any, its the instrument I have the least practice on and which I enjoy playing the most. I try and play every chance I get at jams. This night, there were no bass players, so I got pulled into that corner almost all night. On this track, I show up around 5 minutes in, start playing bass around 7 minutes or so with Randy yelling chords at me. Rock and roll..."

This is a strange transition. I'm calling it FUNKY WHITE XMAS. First, I'm playing a funky-ass bass line (I still find cool as shit) that just doesn't catch on. It's like, no body's feeling it but me, no body really jumps on the jam. Then, Randy goes off on "Merry Christmas" or some shite, so I join him. I'm going back to that jam sometime.

PLAY THAT FUNKY MUSIC is the perfect name for this track. Sick drumming skills going on. It's an island-y thing I'm doing on bass until Randy comes in slingin' his Steinway muscle around, LOL! It comically peters-out in the end with some 'famous last words'.
