Band Bios

Kevin Curameng
Bass Guitar

Kevin left college in 1977 to play Bass in Rock Cover(Inertia),
Blues(Ravenswood Manor Band) & Wedding Bands(Auburn) until re-entering college in 1985. Concentrating on his studies, he put his bass away until after Graduation, and didn't play again until joining a Motown R&B group(Melody Makers) in 1991 for one year.
He played a brief time in a cover band(Beat's Me?) around 1992. After that, Kevin put his bass away again and started a family. Kevin didn't play in another band until Head First formed in 1998. His primary influences are Motown, Classic Rock, Blues & Big Band/Swing music. Kevin's favorite bands are "Anything Motown", as well as
The Beatles, Chicago, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Styx, The Who, Yes & Stevie Ray Vaughn. Favorite Bass Players: "...so many great ones...Really like the innovators of their time; James Jamerson, Paul McCartney, John Entwhistle, Chris Squire John Paul Jones, Billy Sheehan, Geedy Lee & Stanley Clarke. Donald "Duck" Dunn is great, and Les Claypool or Flea really make me smile when I listen to them". Kevin's Equipment: A Claro Walnut 2002 Peavey-USA Cirrus 5-String Bass,
A Quilt-Top Tiger Eye 2005 Peavey-Indonesia Cirrus BXP 5-String Bass,
Various Craftsman Drills, Saws, Hammers, Ratchets, Pliers & Screwdrivers,
