SOUTHERN ROCK IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA by SOUTHERN FRIED MAGAZINE
“27MILES is a four-piece original southern rock band spawned within the great outburst of raw musical talent from the burgeoning Malibu music scene. Their unique sound and a philosophy to "keep it real by staying true to who they are and honoring those that paved the way before them", come together to create unique and timeless music. Formerly Malibu's popular band 454, 27MILES features the rarefied combination of its original co-founders: singer, songwriter and guitarist Kevin Solomon, a.k.a. "SOLLY" and songwriter and guitarist Donny Kulp. Front man SOLLY brings masterfully adept guitar work, a powerful, emotion-eliciting gravel voice and gift of gab personality; paired with Kulp's prolific songwriting abilities and visceral and passionately explosive guitar expertise. As their sound developed and the songs began to come together for their debut album, they brought in British songwriter/producer Daniel Wills (Son of Rick Wills – Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Bad Company) to help finish some ideas and come up with a few songs to complete the album. As a trio these three are a force to be reckoned with. All understanding what the end result must be, timeless classics! "I knew just by the way these guys looked and played, and the fact that they were named after a muscle car engine, we would come up with some great stuff. I have never had as much fun working and writing with a band than these guys! They are truly the next classic rock band of our generation and they continue to aspire to live the dream!" says Wills. Daniel introduced the band to Producer/Engineer Brian Dobbs (Metallica, Motlëy Cru, Echo Brain, Man Made God), who would be the right man for the job to mix the band’s recorded tracks for their 2006 release 'Bringin' It Back'. Kulp and Solomon launched 27MILES envisioning "the greatest rock band ever" that truly reflected their influences from the great 70s bands such as Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jimi Hendrix, retooled and recast in their own style. By combining blues, southern rock and acoustic numbers that are melodic and mesmerizing, set off with heavy choruses, a highly combustible bloodletting is eminent and guaranteed to entertain. 27MILES brought in professional musician Berry Oakley Jr. on bass, (son of Berry Oakley of the Allman Brothers). Oakley is a vintage nut who tours with The Robby Krieger Band of the Doors, Chuck Negron of Three Dog Night and the Allman Brothers among others. Oakley's approach and abilities are extraordinary, spontaneous and world class. The final role was filled by drummer Joseph Kern. Jody is an accomplished percussionist who graduated from the Percussion Institute of Technology in Hollywood, CA where he blew away everyone in his jazz class with his creative and dynamic drum solos. It was there that he rounded out his drumming education. Throughout his career Jody has played with bands such as Malibu’s own Last Call, Venice’s The Degenerates, former Posh Boy and Fearless Records band Glue Gun in which he did two US tours. Jody is proud to announce rejoining with his old friends "from way back", and can be heard on their debut release, "Bringin' It Back". 27MILES finished mastering their 11-song album at J.T. Meskiel’s Document Room Recording Studio in Malibu in April 2006. "27 Miles are a great bunch of guys," said J.T. "They brought their A-Game and were very focused and disciplined, producing a remarkable album they so richly deserve." 27MILES "Bringin' It Back" is available for purchase online at www.27milesmusic.com, www.myspace.com/27miles and iTunes. Featured guest artists include iconic guitar from Dean Deleo of STP on the songs, "Where I Belong" and "Lessons Learned", Duane Betts, son of Dickie Betts of the Allman Brothers on the song, "Brotherhood" and Vocals by Angelic Leah Felder, daughter of Don Felder of the Eagles on the song, "Life Unknown" I cherish kinship between musicians", Deleo said. "Like so many of us, music is a nice place to dip our minds. When Kevin asked me to come down and play on the 27MILES record, I was flattered. I dig the songs and their playing. Honestly, Kevin or Donny could have mustered up anything I played. They are both great players. They were recording at the Document Room where I had done some stuff for Chicago’s 30th album", noted Deleo. "If I can find any reason not to go south of Cross Creek I will. J.T.'s studio is the greatest, like water in the desert, state-of-the-art man. J.T. makes the time spent there quite easy and enjoyable as well as keeping us close to home." The 27MILES interplay runs delicate and airy to dense and driving. Together they gel magically and soulfully creating a melodic and mesmerizing signature sound that plays heavy and explosive with a sophisticated integration of accompaniments, harmonies and an unstoppable rhythmic juggernaut: a single, powerful and textured sound.” Written by Teri Merchant

Local Musicians Help Keep Southern Rock Close to H by MALIBU SURFSIDE NEWS
The iron butterflies of rock and roll in the ’70s destroyed hotels, ravaged America and sold billions of albums. Tales of magic and myth electrified the revolution. The high-wire balancing acts set the stan- dard for wicked exuberance and starshiploads of fun. Many dreams come true, and some have silver linings, I live for my dreams and a pocket full of gold—Led Zep- pelin, “Over the Hills and Far Away.” A Malibu musician is a propitious circumstance, for the 27 miles of scenic beauty is the epicenter of a great burst of raw music talent. Old school rock has been recast into a new school rock phenomenon. A move- ment’s afoot. Exploits are toned down, diets are forti- fied with wheatgrass and ginger, and the music is as explosive and fun as ever. The band 27 Miles is Malibu’s definitive South- ern rock band. Founders Kevin Solomon and Donny Kulp, with Berry Oakley Jr., and Jody Kern, are shame- lessly leading the pack of troubadours. Melodic and mesmerizing, heavy and explosive, their music starts at the top and doesn’t come down. Songs are expressive with surprising emotional depth and lyrical imagery. “I’ve wanted to start a Southern rock project for God only knows how long,” said Kulp, the band’s visceral guitarist and song- writer. “I’ve played in Sky- nyrd and Hendrix cover bands for years. Now I’m finally doing what I love to do: write and play music.” 27 Miles, formerly 454, formed four years ago after the untimely death of Back- bone frontman Chris Will- iams. The guitar virtuoso was the uncrowned fulcrum of the musical renaissance. Solomon, the band’s gravel-voiced singer, song- writer and guitarist with a freewheeling gift of gab, said, “After Chris died, I started singing and taking it seriously.” Solomon and Kulp, both self-taught ear musicians, were inspired by Williams’ musical talents and genuine friendship. They resolved to keep the Southern rock tradition alive in Malibu by combining blues and classic rock and roll with acous- tic numbers that are set off with heavy open choruses. Their newfangled con- fidence fueled around-thc- clock songwriting and the creation of soul-stirring riffs and catchy melodies that would become their signa- ture sound. Their unique interplay runs delicate and airy, to dense and driving. Solomon’s guitar work is astonishing, while his vocals run wild to tender and unusually expressive. Kulp’s signature licks can be passionate, hypnotic, but sometimes dark and daunt- ing. Together they gel magi- cally; songs are curiously detailed, not unlike the rar- efied fusion of combo leg- ends Page and Plant, Len- non and McCartney. “We’re like yin and yang, we can’t do without each other,” Solomon said, laughing at his animated British accent. “We complete the circle.” Like most bands, the duo would go through drum- mers and bass players like Kleenex in a bad winter’s cold. As it happens, they found the ultimate team. Working musician Berry Oakley Jr., son of Berry Oakley of the Allman Brothers band, was anchor- ed on bass. Oakley traded in his skateboard for a guitar at 13. “I’m a vintage nut. I’m a stickler for old school stuff,” Oakley said. “I’ve got a ’60s Fender jazz bass and Ampeg SVT tube amp. The tone is more real with the old verses new,” Oakley explains, hav- ing toured with the Robby Krieger Band of the Doors, the Jam Band Circuit with Blue Floyd, Chuck Negron of Three Dog Night and, of course, the Allman Broth- ers, Marc Ford, Backbone and others. Drummer Jody Kern was schooled at the Percussion Institute Technology. “My number one influence is Lucky Lehrer from the Cir- cle Jerks. We met and talked drums,” Kern said. “I was so busy working and didn’t have the time or money to go into the studio,” Kern remarked about recording with 27 Miles’ first album. “But Kevin was so excited and overflowing with enthu- siasm, I couldn’t pass it up.” 27 Miles just finished mastering its first 11-song album at J.T. Meskiel’s Document Room Recording Studio in Malibu, produc- can stifle creativity. The all-day and all-night practice sessions sum- moned the group’s dynam- ic to the surface. “Once we got in there, we saw the level of where we wanted to take it,” Kulp said. “So we stayed longer. The album takes you on a journey and covers a lot of different angles. It’s organic. There’s a balance between light and dark,” he added. Solomon notes judicious- ly: “There’s a point where you’ve got to let go and allow the music to take over without losing touch of what it’s really about,” then adds, “Otherwise the music might get away from you. It’s not suppose to be perfect. Rock and roll is an art.” Featured guest artists include iconic guitar work from Dean Deleo of Stone Temple Pilots and Duane Betts, son of Dicky Betts of Allman Brothers, and back- ing vocals by the angelic Lea Felder, daughter of Don Felder of the Eagles. “I cherish kinship between musicians,” Deleo said. “Like so many of us, music is a nice place to dip our minds. When Kevin asked me to come down and play on the 27 Miles record, I was flattered. I dig the songs and their playing. Honestly, Kevin or Donny could have mustered up anything I played. They are both great players. They were recording at the Docu- ment Room, where I had done some stuff for Chi- cago’s 30th album,” noted Deleo. By using alternat tunings with no-holds-barred showmanship, 27 Miles creates a rich and vibrant show reminiscent of Zeppe- lin, Skynyrd and Stevie Ray Vaughn. Heavy choruses explode, wailing harmonies soar and theatrically staged, back-to- back guitar solos are part of the act. “Hendrix played a half-step down,” Solomon said. “Then I’ll drop my low E a full step to drop D tuning. That’s when it starts to get under the skin.” “My live setup is fairly simple,” Kulp said. “I play through a Marshall Vintage 800 head with a 1969 cabi- net and a few pedals.” Currently shooting a music video and writing new music, 27 Miles can be found playing locally at the Dume Room and, of course, in Hollywood. Their songs can be heard on soundtrack videos for Slednecks snow- mobiling capers, Crusty Demons motorcycle romps, and in an HBO motion pic- ture in post production. Gigs, merchandise and rehearsals are the daily regi- men. “Music comes first,” Solomon said. “Jewelry and clothing are secondary.” “This is it,” Kulp said. “I’m finally doing exactly what I want to be doing. We’ve got the dream band.” 27 Miles is a band keep- ing it real by staying true to who they are, honoring those who paved the way before them, and bringing home their own Southern rock thunder.

A la Malibu: The Unbridled Spirit of 27 Miles by MALIBU MAGAZINE
A la Malibu: The Unbridled Spirit of 27 Miles Published in Malibu Magazine July/August 2006 Without going into a detailed account of the last four decades of rock 'n' roll and the legends who shaped the music of today, let's just say that old-school rock 'n' roll has been recast into a new-school rock phenomenon that stays true to its roots and honors those who lived by their dreams and discovered that elusive pot of gold. Heady notions abound, but the veritable reservoir of fantastic music from 27MILES, Malibu's homespun Southern rock band, founded by Kevin Solomon and Donny Kulp with Berry Oakley Jr. and Jody Kern, solidify a free and creative force all of its own. "I wanted to start a Southern rock band for years," said Kulp, the band's viceral guitarist and songwriter. "I've played in Skynyrd and Hendrix cover bands before, but now I'm playing my own brand of music that I've always wanted to." Melodic and mesmerizing, heavy and explosive, and with surprising emotional depth, each 27MILES' song tells a story. Formerly called 454, the band originated five years ago after the tragic death of close friend Chris Williams, the legendary front man of the runaway epic Backbone69. Williams, the uncrowned musical leader of Malibu's bourgeoning rock scene, was a man who touched all deeply. "We got together and started a band," said Solomon, the band's charismatic singer, songwriter, and guitarist. "I've played for years, but after Chris died, I started singing and taking it seriously. We wanted to carry on the tradition and make our own mark. We felt it from the inside out." Kulp and Solomon envisioned an emotion-enriched band that combined blues, Southern rock and acoustic numbers that are set off with heavy choruses. They dropped their surfboards and gave selflessly to their dream. The newfangled confidence fueled around-the-clock songwriting. This in turn created soul-stirring riffs and melodies that would become the band's signature sound. Its unique interplay runs from delicate and airy to dense and driving. Solomon's amazing guitar work coupled with Kulp's passionate style detonates and hypnotizes. Like most bands, finding and retaining the right rhythm section is challenging. Fortunately, the original drummer and bass player have returned, and the band is as solid and uncompromising as ever. Working musician Berry Oakley Jr., son of Berry Oakley of the Allman Brothers Band, is anchored on bass. "I'm a vintage nut," Oakley said. "I've got a '60s Fender jazz bass and Ampeg SVT tube amp. The tone is more real with the old-school gear," Oakley explains, having toured with Robby Krieger of the Doors, Chuck Negron of Three Dog Night, the Allman Brothers, Marc Ford, and Backbone69, to name a few. "I enjoy playing with the extended family, and with 27MILES, I'm right back at home where I belong." Local drummer Jody Kern, professionally trained at the Percussion Institute of Technology, brings to the mix his instincts and precision abilities, and compresses the band into a rollicking rhythmic juggernaut that is powerful, textured, unstoppable.

A la Malibu: The Unbridled Spirit of 27 Miles Published in Malibu Magazine July/August 2006 Without going into a detailed account of the last four decades of rock 'n' roll and the legends who shaped the music of today, let's just say that old-school rock 'n' roll has been recast into a new-school rock phenomenon that stays true to its roots and honors those who lived by their dreams and discovered that elusive pot of gold. Heady notions abound, but the veritable reservoir of fantastic music from 27MILES, Malibu's homespun Southern rock band, founded by Kevin Solomon and Donny Kulp with Berry Oakley Jr. and Jody Kern, solidify a free and creative force all of its own. "I wanted to start a Southern rock band for years," said Kulp, the band's viceral guitarist and songwriter. "I've played in Skynyrd and Hendrix cover bands before, but now I'm playing my own brand of music that I've always wanted to." Melodic and mesmerizing, heavy and explosive, and with surprising emotional depth, each 27MILES' song tells a story. Formerly called 454, the band originated five years ago after the tragic death of close friend Chris Williams, the legendary front man of the runaway epic Backbone69. Williams, the uncrowned musical leader of Malibu's bourgeoning rock scene, was a man who touched all deeply. "We got together and started a band," said Solomon, the band's charismatic singer, songwriter, and guitarist. "I've played for years, but after Chris died, I started singing and taking it seriously. We wanted to carry on the tradition and make our own mark. We felt it from the inside out." Kulp and Solomon envisioned an emotion-enriched band that combined blues, Southern rock and acoustic numbers that are set off with heavy choruses. They dropped their surfboards and gave selflessly to their dream. The newfangled confidence fueled around-the-clock songwriting. This in turn created soul-stirring riffs and melodies that would become the band's signature sound. Its unique interplay runs from delicate and airy to dense and driving. Solomon's amazing guitar work coupled with Kulp's passionate style detonates and hypnotizes. Like most bands, finding and retaining the right rhythm section is challenging. Fortunately, the original drummer and bass player have returned, and the band is as solid and uncompromising as ever. Working musician Berry Oakley Jr., son of Berry Oakley of the Allman Brothers Band, is anchored on bass. "I'm a vintage nut," Oakley said. "I've got a '60s Fender jazz bass and Ampeg SVT tube amp. The tone is more real with the old-school gear," Oakley explains, having toured with Robby Krieger of the Doors, Chuck Negron of Three Dog Night, the Allman Brothers, Marc Ford, and Backbone69, to name a few. "I enjoy playing with the extended family, and with 27MILES, I'm right back at home where I belong." Local drummer Jody Kern, professionally trained at the Percussion Institute of Technology, brings to the mix his instincts and precision abilities, and compresses the band into a rollicking rhythmic juggernaut that is powerful, textured, unstoppable. "It's amazing how life unfolds," Kern said. "Williams and I played together in the '80s in our band called Mutelage. He was one of the best guitar players I've ever worked with," Kern notes. "Back again wth the bosy, we're able to play with the freedom and creative license we've always hoped for."

Malibu’s 27MILES: Southern Rock Revolution by MALIB ARTS REVIEW MAGAZINE
by Kriss Perras Running Waters | 27MILES blends Southern rock, Heavy Metal, Country, Jazz, R&B and gospel back-up vocals on a few tracks, into a tight ensemble sound on their debut album Bringin’ It Back. There is no fight to be center stage with their sound. These down to earth musicians have been around the Los Angeles music scene long enough to know ego doesn’t pay. They passed by the usual rock band material life flash for a clean Southern Rock band sound, including the great vocal harmonies. Despite no major label yet, although they are “looking for the right one that doesn't make us a deal with the Devil,” 27MILES has established a substantial following the old fashioned way, through combustible live performances at proving grounds like The Viper Room, The World Famous Malibu Inn and the Legendary Dume Room which closed in December 2006. KRISS: Tell me a little history on 454, when was it formed? SOLLY: We formed in October 2001, 2 months after the death of our inspirational musical mentor Chris Williams of Backbone69. We wanted to continue on were Backbone left off following his death. Donny came to me with some amazing song ideas and we got together and completed all the songs you heard on 27MILES Bringin It Back. What really was amazing was the fact that I did not sing or even consider singing before 454/27MILES was formed. Donny had some lyrics early on, and I just felt compelled to sing. Donny was like wow you sound great Kev, other people seem to like my voice too, and that's when my singing began in October 2001. KRISS: why did you break up/stop? SOLLY: We didn't break up, just changed the name to 27MILES in June 2005 due to legalities, plus 27MILES has more meaning to us, due to the fact Donny, Jodi and I grew up in Malibu together since grade school. Berry we met later on around 1998 when he joined Backbone. KRISS: And the original band 454 was the same members as 27MILES? SOLLY: No just Donny and I. The Og 454 was Alex Orbison, "formerly of Backbone69 and Whitestarr" on drums and Jesse Fishman, presently in Local Metal band "2 Cents", on bass. KRISS: The title is Bringin' It Back because you brought all the original members back from 454 in addition to staying true to your roots? What is the idea totally behind the title? SOLLY: Exactly like you said above, but mainly bringin back Rock N Roll the way it was meant to be played with heart n soul through life experiences. KRISS: Who are the female vocals on back-up and the solo on Track 11? They are fantastic! SOLLY: The female vocals on back-up are Natalie Coles back-up singers Valerie Pinkston and Sandy Simmons, and they were amazing in the studio. On Track 11 "Life Unknown" is Malibu local, Lea Felder, daughter of Don Felder of The Eagles, she’s also the singer in the local band Big Dume. KRISS: Who have you and Donny sat in/played with, because I’m sure your list is longer than the bio provided. SOLLY: To be honest with you, we've haven't sat in with that many big time players except Dean Deleo of STP when he came into the studio to throw down those solos on Where I belong and Lessons Learned. Oh yeah, I jammed with Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols once back in like 1996. Also, Duane Betts, son of Dicky Betts, is a good friend of ours who sits in with us from time to time. He's also on the CD track 1 Brotherhood. Alex Orbison, son of Roy Orbison, used to play drums for us when we were 454 back in 2002. He was also the drummer for Backbone and Whitestarr. Cisco Adler (Whitestarr) has jumped up on stage and sang with me a few times at The Malibu Inn around 2003-2005. Actually I did an on-air radio interview in October 07. FM 97.1 Frosty, Heidi N Frank Show. Here's the link, check it out. We killed it http://podcast.971freefm.com/klsx1/724979.mp3. Also we do have a booking Management team working on tour dates. TNT Booking and Management. We are also being played on FM radio sporadically all over the USA and on many sites all over the internet. KRISS: When did each of you begin playing music and where? SOLLY: I started playing guitar in 1986 in my bedroom in Malibu on Busch Dr. I started playing because of Chris Williams, he blew me away with his skills on guitar. I was like wow, I’ve got learn how to do that it, it was so fuckin cool. It toke my breath away. Donny started playing after he saw me and Chris jamming together around 87. Donny lived in Malibu West at the time, and we were best friends. He was totally stoked on the whole thing to. We use to play a lot Hendrix, Metallica and Slayer together. We were full on metal heads for a long time, until we became more open minded and skilled on guitar. In fact I left Malibu in 1989 to go to college in Colorado. I was pretty much a hard rock/metal guy in bands called "Axis", "Pink Sprinkler", "Velocic Rage", "Standard Issue" until 27MILES formed. 27MILES just felt right, more meaningful, soulful and compelling than all my past projects. Solly’s voice is a cross between the gravel Southern Rock greats, James Hetffield of Metallica and the powerful sounds of the 60’s Brits. Add in the backdrop, and at times in the forefront, the Gospel sounds of the female back-up vocals Natalie Coles back-up singers "Valerie Pinkston" and "Sandy Simmons", and the combination is explosive. The British rock invasion influencing their American Rock is ever present in the tight vocal harmonies of the track Brotherhood. Lost in the sounds of strong country rock-blues guitar and bass, it was a trip back to hear the blues sound being kept alive. The three rock ballads on this release (High, Travelin', Life Unknown) are a road trip to major hits of the 60’s and ‘70’s. 27MILES has a solid influence from the groundbreaking sounds of the early Los Angeles punk bands and self-proclaimed legendary influences from Led Zeppelin, Skynyrd, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Hendrix. 27MILES is part of the new rock revolution underground and includes all of 454’s original members. 27MILES is literally bringin’ back a revolution that is currently taking rock to its own distinctive American roots. No small surprise when these guys play around town with members of bands like Collective Soul, The Black Crowes, Gov’t Mule, The Degenerates, Glue Gun, Bad Samaritans and the bass player Berry Oakley Jr.’s biggest influence, The Allman Brothers (he is the son of the Raymond Berry Oakley, founding bassist from The Allman Brothers). 27MILES is frontman vocalist, songwriter and guitarist Kevin “Solly” Solomon, prolific songwriter and guitarist Donny Kulp, Berry Oakley Jr. on Bass, and Jody Kern on Drums. Berry Oakley Jr in 1992 joined Bloodline, featuring guitarist Waylon Krieger (son of Robby Krieger from the Doors), Erin Davis (son of Miles Davis), Lou Segreti and the highly talented Joe Bonamassa, who opened for BB King’s 80th birthday and voted Best Blues Guitarist by the readers of Guitar Player Magazine. Oakely Jr. has toured with several bands including his godfather's band "RKB" (Robby Krieger of the Doors,) from 1991-2000. Kern started playing drums at 11. Teaming up with Chris Williams, a talented and then up-and-coming local guitarist/vocalist and later to become a well known underground leader of the ever widening Malibu music scene. They went through an instrumental garage version of Metallica's "Disposable Heroes". After attending the Percussion Institute of Technology (PIT) in Hollywood, Kerns got together with Williams to form the band Mutilage, Malibu's extreme metal power trio. Kern has played with bands such as Malibu's own Last Call, Venice's The Degenerates, former Posh Boy and Fearless Records band Glue Gun in which he did two US tours and recorded the album The Scene Is Not For Sale, Glue Gun's spin-off Unglued which at times included Louiche Mayorga (Suicidal Tendencies) and also Jim Cherry (Strung Out, Pulley, Zero Down) on bass, did session work with Jim Cherry, Soul Vibe featuring Donny Kulp of 27MILES on bass and the great Marc Palmer on guitar, Standard Issue with Kevin Solomon, also of 27MILES, and the Bad Samaritans, a maniac punk rock act from the San Fernando Valley. Kerns can be heard on their newest release, Regurgitate (2006) on Burning Tree Records. You can check out the sounds of 27MILES at The Malibu Inn on Saturday April 12, 2008 at 10:00 pm. The band is also part of the headliners in the second annual Malipalooza this July at Bluffs Park. On The Web: www.27milesmusic.com http://www.myspace.com/27miles

KRISS: The title of the album is "Bringin' It Back" because you brought all the original members back from 454 in addition to staying true to your roots? What is the idea totally behind the title? SOLLY: Exactly like you said above, but mainly bringin back Rock N Roll the way it was meant to be, played with heart n soul through life experiences. KRISS: Who are the female vocals on back-up and the solo on Track 11? They are fantastic! KRISS: Tell me a little history on 454, when was it formed? SOLLY: We formed in October 2001, two months after the death of our inspirational musical mentor Chris Williams of Backbone69. We wanted to continue on were Backbone left off following his death. Donny came to me with some amazing song ideas, and we got together and completed all the songs you SOLLY: The female vocals on back-up are Natalie Coles' backup singers Valerie Pinkston and Sandy Simmons, and they were amazing in the studio. On Track 11 "Life Unknown" is Malibu local, Lea Felder, daughter of Don Felder of The Eagles, she’s also the singer in the local band Big Dume. KRISS: Who have you and heard on 27MILES' "Bringin It Back." What really was amazing was the fact that I did not sing or even consider singing before 454/27MILES was formed. Donny had some lyrics early on, and I just felt compelled to sing. Donny was like "wow you sound great Kev." Other people seem to like my voice too, and that's when my singing began, in October 2001. KRISS: Why did you break-up/stop? SOLLY: We didn't break-up, just changed the name to 27MILES in June 2005 due to legalities, plus 27MILES has more meaning to us, due to the fact Donny, Jodi and I grew up in Malibu together since grade school. Berry we met later on around 1998 when he joined Backbone. KRISS: And the original band 454 was the same members as 27MILES? Donny sat in/played with, because I’m sure your list is longer than the bio provided. SOLLY: To be honest with you, we've haven't sat in with that many big time players except Dean Deleo of STP when he came into the studio to throw down those solos on "Where I Belong" and "Lessons Learned." Oh yeah, I jammed with Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols once back in like 1996. Also, Duane Betts, son of Dicky Betts, is a good friend of ours who sits in with us from time to time. He's also on the CD track 1 "Brotherhood." Alex Orbison, son of Roy Orbison, used to play drums for us when we were 454 back in 2002. He was also the drummer for Backbone and Whitestarr. Cisco Adler (Whitestarr) has jumped up on stage and sang with me a few times at The Malibu Inn around 2003-2005. Actually I did an on-air radio interview in October 07. FM 97.1 Frosty, Heidi N Frank Show. Here's the link, check it out. We killed it http://podcast.971freefm.com/klsx1/724979.mp3. Also we do have a booking management team working on tour dates. TNT Booking and Management. We are also being played on FM radio sporadically all over the USA and on many sites all over the internet. KRISS: When did each of you begin playing music and where? SOLLY: I started playing guitar in 1986 in my bedroom in Malibu on Busch Dr. I started playing because of Chris Williams, he blew me away with his skills on guitar. I was like wow, I’ve got learn how to do that it, it was so fuckin cool. It took my breath away. Donny started playing after he saw me and Chris jamming together around '87. Donny lived in Malibu West at the time, and we were best friends. He was totally stoked on the whole thing too. We used to play a lot of Hendrix, Metallica and Slayer together. Solly’s voice is a cross between the gravel southern rock greats, James Hetffield of Metallica and the powerful sounds of the 60’s Brits. Add in the backdrop, and at times in the forefront, the Gospel sounds of the female back-up vocals Natalie Coles' back-up singers Valerie Pinkston"and Sandy Simmons, and the combination is explosive. The British Rock invasion influencing their American Rock is ever present in the tight vocal harmonies of the track Brotherhood." Lost in the sounds of strong country rock-blues guitar and bass, it was a trip back to hear the blues sound being kept alive. The three rock ballads on this release ("High," "Travelin'," "Life Unknown") are a road trip to major hits of the 60’s and ‘70’s. 27MILES has a solid influence from the groundbreaking sounds of the early Los Angeles punk bands and self-proclaimed legendary influences from Led Zeppelin, Skynyrd, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Hendrix. 27MILES is part of the new rock revolution underground and includes all of 454’s original members. 27MILES is literally bringin’ back a revolution that is currently taking rock to its own distinctive American roots. No small surprise when these guys play around town with members of bands like Collective Soul, The Black Crowes, Gov’t Mule, The Degenerates, Glue Gun, Bad Samaritans and the bass player Berry Oakley Jr.’s biggest influence, The Allman Brothers (he is the son of the Raymond Berry Oakley, founding bassist from The Allman Brothers). 27MILES is frontman vocalist, songwriter and guitarist Kevin “Solly” Solomon, prolific songwriter and guitarist Donny Kulp, Berry Oakley Jr. on Bass, and Jody Kern on Drums. Berry Oakley Jr in 1992 joined Bloodline, featuring guitarist Waylon Krieger (son of Robby Krieger from the Doors), Erin Davis (son of Miles Davis), Lou Segreti and the highly talented Joe Bonamassa, who opened for BB King’s 80th birthday and voted Best Blues Guitarist by the readers of Guitar Player Magazine. Oakely Jr. has toured with several bands including his godfather's band "RKB" (Robby Krieger of the Doors,) from 1991-2000. Kern started playing drums at age eleven. Teaming up with Chris Williams, a talented and then up-and-coming local guitarist/vocalist and later to become a well known underground leader of the ever widening Malibu music scene. They went through an instrumental garage version of Metallica's "Disposable Heroes". After attending the Percussion Institute of Technology (PIT) in Hollywood, Kerns got together with Williams to form the band Mutilage, Malibu's extreme metal power trio. Kern has played with bands such as Malibu's own Last Call, Venice's The Degenerates, former Posh Boy and Fearless Records band Glue Gun in which he did two US tours and recorded the album The Scene Is Not For Sale, Glue Gun's spin-off Unglued, which at times included Louiche Mayorga (Suicidal Tendencies) and also Jim Cherry (Strung Out, Pulley, Zero Down) on bass, has done session work with Jim Cherry, Soul Vibe featuring Donny Kulp of 27MILES on bass and the great Marc Palmer on guitar, Standard Issue with Kevin Solomon, also of 27MILES, and the Bad Samaritans, a maniac punk rock act from the San Fernando Valley. Kerns can be heard on their newest release, "Regurgitate" (2006) from the label Burning Tree Records. You can check out the sounds of 27MILES at the second annual Malipalooza! this July at Bluffs Park. On The Web: www.27milesmusic.com http://www.myspace.com/27miles

MALIBU BAND BRINGS IT BACK FOR NIGTHSPOT PERFORMAN by
For 27 Miles, Malibu is not a resting location for sweet tropical drinks and walks on sandy beaches: it is a breeding ground for good old rock n’ roll. Playing together for almost six years in Malibu as a band, 27 Miles are still rocking to the same beat. With an upcoming local performance, they hope to continue to spread their music as well as their album, “Bringin’ It Back.” “The overall concept of the album was ‘bringin’ it back’ with that Seventies sound and an old school meets modern feel,” said singer, songwriter, and guitarist Solly Solomon. “We’re not Southern, or from the Midwest, but the sound it produced was a very Southern-like sound.” Solomon has spent most of his life in Malibu, since about the late Seventies. Solomon says he has always wanted to do an album and “Bringin’ It Back” was the band’s first big opportunity. “I’ve done demos my whole life but when J.T. made an offer we couldn’t refuse, we took it,” Solomon said. “We got a great deal and a great studio.” The sound of the album can be described as a Lynard Skynard, Led Zeppelin, and ACDC kind of rock. “The recording process was a little different than most,” Solomon said. “Since we didn’t have a block when we could come and pump out an album, we came in sometimes for a day or a week over about three or four months. It took essentially about three to four weeks to actually record and mix the album.” 27 Miles was previously known as 454, but due to legal issues, the guys decided to take another route and name themselves after the 27-mile stretch that reaches across Malibu. “27 Miles is the length of Malibu,” Solomon said. “Jody, Donny, and I grew up here and have known each other for close to 30 years.” The four-piece rock band that created the album is made up of Solly, Jody Kern on the drums, Donny Kulp as songwriter and guitarist, and Berry Duane Oakley on bass guitar, vocals, and guitar. Their next upcoming performance is scheduled for April 15 at the Malibu Inn at 10 pm. “We’re doing pretty much every song on the album,” Solomon said. “We’re also doing one that’s not on the album, which will be on the next album that we’ll start recording sometime this year or early next year.” On track 11 of the album, “Life Unknown” Leah Felder, daughter of Don Felder of the Eagles and a Malibu local, contributed stunning vocals. “I don’t know if she remembers the lyrics because she wrote them on the spot in the studio,” Solomon laughed. “But I would love to have Leah come down for the performance.” Berry Oakley recently left the band. Taking his place at the Malibu Inn performance will be Steve Earnhart. “Berry loves playing with us and we love playing with him but circumstances aren’t allowing that right now,” Kern said.

PURE SOUTHERN ROCK by
27 Miles was formed in 2001 as The 454 Band, but changed their name to 27 Miles in 2005 due legal issues. With unique blend of Southern rock, metal, blues and country, 27 Miles is part of the new Southern rock underground, which has been rising in the States in past ten years and the band has found lot of new fans since their 2006 debut album, "Bringin' It Back". At the moment 27 Miles are Kevin “Solly” Solomon on lead vocals and rhythm/lead guitar, Donny Kulp on rhythm/lead guitar, Jason “JB” Benfield on Bass and Kurt Custer on Drums and back-up vocals. Each member of the band has a long history in the music biz; Childhood friends Solly and Donny started playing at young age and formed their first bands soon after. Bass player Jason Benfields started rockin at the tender age of 13 and has been playing with different bands ever since. His biggest influences are the late great Allen Woody of the Allman Brothers Band & Govt. Mule along with Jack Bruce of the Cream. Original drummer Joseph Kern has been replaced by Kurt Custer who played in Lynyrd Skynyrd and Steve Earle’s band in the early 90`s. Despite lack of major label backing, 27Miles has established a substantial following the old fashioned way; writing great tunes and through explosive live performances while touring heavily. All that hard work paid off, when the band had a change to work with British songwriter/producer Daniel Wills, who helped them finish some ideas and come up with a few songs to complete the debut album. Daniel introduced the band to Producer/Engineer Brian Dobbs who finally mixed the band’s 2006 release 'Bringin' It Back'. The band had a special guests Dean Deleo from Stone Temple Pilots to drop in the studio and throw down a solos on "Where I Belong" as well as "Lessons Learned" and Duane Betts, son of Dickie Betts of the Allman Brothers Band on the song, "Brotherhood". Kevin Solomon’s powerful voice and Kulp's explosive guitar dominate their debut album, but there are also great vocal harmonies on most of the songs and every Southern rock fan should check out their album.
