Keith John Adams has been making music. First in an acoustic guitar/drums/violin outfit called The Horse Doctors, then in Zuno Men, and now on his own.

Zuno Men released two albums and several singles of angular, experimental pop in the UK in the nineties. One of singles, "Stay In With Me", recieved lots of airplay, getting Single of the Week on the BBC's national Radio One afternoon show. It seemed for a while that something was going to happen - but it didn't. The 1999 album that followed, "I'm Going To Like You Even If You Hate Me" won plaudits & criticism, but the band split. So KJA kicked off the millenium as a single musical unit, playing a number of solo gigs. On his own he could be quiet, then louder, without earlier agreeing to when that would happen with a band. It led to a new economy in his songwriting too.

The first release was a single on the fantastic Flitwick Records. A double a-side 7" which quite literally sold out. It was released in 2001. The songs were Memory and Worried.

KJA recorded his first solo album, Sunshine Loft, in 2002. It came out in the USA on DCBaltimore2012 records (now deceased) in 2003. It was recorded in a loft around one stereo microphone - onto minidisc. Inspired by that lovely early rock & roll roomy live sound. Matt Armstrong played bass, Dave Ross played drums, Rhodri Marsden played glockenspiel, saw, guitars & organ, and KJA played guitar and sung.

Also released in 2003, was "A Walk Around My Flat", a mini album recorded for the Kabuki Kore label - seven songs sung while KJA wandered around his flat. It was an extremely limited edition, and is thus no longer available.

Then in 2004 a 7" EP called "This is a six track EP" came out on kabukikore special editions. Six tracks of course - still some left from the label or this site.

Also in 2004 KJA toured the US for three weeks to promote Sunshine Loft. He started in Georgia and snaked up through the mid-west and the NE coast all the way to Vermont. He also did a little tour of The Netherlands with Illinois Cook playing the drums.

He concentrated energy and funds in the latter half of 2004 on recording the new album, Pip. In 2005 (history?) he started playing with a new trio: KJA, Illinois Cook (drums) and Ant Chapman (bass). I just can't wait to see what happens next. Salut!
