Their lyrics are intelligent,  yet  still fun.   Alex also delivers catchy, syncopated guitar rhythms and  melodic lines thus embedding his own personal stamp to each song.  His  solos reflect emotional expression and influences ofJimmy Page, Slash,  Hendrix and The Edge.  Alex says, \u201cEvery song has a distinct color,  mood, and identity.  Our music must have a purpose, create a visual,  evoke positive emotion, and hypnotize physically as well as mentally.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Ron\u2019s  atmospheric keyboards set the tone while his piano lines aim for the  heart.  His signature synthbass often mirrors the bass guitar defining  the groove and engraving it in your mind.  Ron states, \u201cI want to  connect with people the way Stevie Wonder has with me.  Our music should  relate to each listener through a wide range of emotions.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Mike B\u2019s bass lines are infectious and memorable.  He states, \u201cI\u2019d like to hear our music played in the first club on Mars.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Marck  Mangel holds down and sets the tone with his drumming style and  attitude.  He adds, \u201cOur thoughts and emotions are channeled through  waves of sound that are designed to flow through the body with a pulse  that makes you want to dance, grind and fist pump.\u201d<\/div>\n<div><strong>The Kinected has played with:<br \/>\n<\/strong>Duran Duran<br \/>\nThe Strokes<br \/>\nGnarles Barkley<br \/>\nDaughtry<br \/>\nThe All American Rejects<br \/>\nJourney<br \/>\nBryan Adams<br \/>\nForeigner<br \/>\nCandlebox &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;  &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;  &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Dashboard Confessional<br \/>\nSwitchfoot  &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;  &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;  &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; A Rocket to the Moon<br \/>\nMat Kearney<br \/>\nVHS or Beta<br \/>\nVertical Horizon<br \/>\nThe Brazilian Girls<br \/>\nMGMT<\/div>\n<p><strong>Performed at:<\/strong><br \/>\nSunfest (270,000 people)<br \/>\nMoonfest (50,000 people) &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;  &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;  &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; A Taste of Pinellas (40,000 people)<br \/>\nWest Fest (2,000 people)<br \/>\nRocktoberfest (12,00 people)<br \/>\nThe Bang Festival Miami ( 10,000 people)<br \/>\nAnnual Devil\u2019s Night G.O.G.
