Daniel Stapleton and Bert Windsor met at a playground at the tender age of 11 and discovered each other’s passion to music and made a pact to collaborate on a musical project. This pact still stands as Ketura, an eclectic musical mayhem combining the controlled precision of electronic music and the raucous id of modern rock with a touch of pop sensibility to add a bit of polish to the song.
Taking their daily events and amplifying the drama to the Nth degree, Ketura make their music bigger than life with a goal to conquer the entire world. It’s not an uncommon fantasy for boys at the playground, but Ketura have made headway with their tenacious will, performing to empty rooms and to adoring crowds and even taking a gig at a kids’ birthday party. They’ve hardened up in sweltering tour vans in the middle of summer and honed their craft in drafty practice spaces in the dead of winter.
To date, they have three releases, the latest being the Satellites, Fire, and Wide Awake (and Lonely) singles in 2009. Below, you can play along to their song “Fire” on JamLegend and check out the world domination in progress that is Ketura.
