We’ve decided to declare today KJ Sawka Appreciation Day at Team Plaid! Why? Well, the selection of today was kinda random, but we wanted to recognize Kevin for being such a kick @SS drummer. If you haven’t already, you should check out some of his some of his solo stuff, including his most recent effort, Cyclonic Steel.
Here’s his first video from the album:
More after the jump!
Want to check out some brilliant drumming? Look no further than this video of him live in the studio at c89.5 in Seattle.
Happy KJ Day!!

What a perfect day to be KJ Sakawa day! I just got Cyclonic Steel in the mail!!! Can’t wait to pop it in…I’ve heard Move On and WTO, but I’m excited to hear the album in its entirety
Kevin is exceptionally talented, and I’m definitely intending to order “Cyclonic Steel” as soon as I can (along with that Mob Law CD).
I’ve seen those videos before and it amazes me how he can handle doing so many things at once!
I had found this video on youtube, the lighter side of KJ:

Happy New Years everyone!
Kevin is very, very good. Not quite as complex or sophisticated as Squarepusher or Amon Tobin, but one day, KJ will become a legend. He’s phenomenally talented and his first two albums show a lot of promise. I’ve become a fan and will be following his career.
Thanks for this - I love me some KJ… He’s great.
