I don’t have a CD by any band or artist that begins with KE. My collection goes straight from _Judas Priest, Kansas, Katatonia_ to _Killing Joke, King Crimson, King Diamond._ Since I have 2,200+ CDs in my collection, that’s like a gaping hole in the wall. What’s worse, I can’t even think of any band that would fill that void…does ANYTHING start with KE? Seriously, this has been bugging me for weeks. ---

There’s an English pop band named [Keane](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keane_(band)). ---

[Tommy Keene](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Keene) is a pretty good if little known singer-songwriter. Possibly not heavy enough for you, though. ---

> [@KGS](#): > > No hip-hop, please. 😉 😕 Keb Mo is an incredible blues musician who pays homage to traditional blues, and also does cutting edge new stuff. And he is a very cool guy. ---

> [@vetbridge](#): > > Keb Mo is an incredible blues musician who pays homage to traditional blues, and also does cutting edge new stuff. And he is a very cool guy. Blues is interesting, I like blues. (Sorry if my earlier remark offended anyone, R&B simply isn’t my cup of tea.) ---

I have no idea what your interest level is for Robert Pollard/Guided by Voices, but if it’s fair or better you could do worse than to pick up “Blues and Boogie Shoes” by The Keene Brothers, one of Bob’s (many) side outfits. I like it a lot, but I like GbV a lot, so take that for what it’s worth. ---

> [@Dreamy\_B](#): > > Kelly Bell Band Man, I haven’t heard of Kelly in ages - we shared the bill on numerous stages throughout the MD/DC/VA area throughout the mid-90’s. Amazing talent and a really nice guy. I strongly recommend anybody into blues and funky grooves to check him out. /aside ---

'Twixt your Katatonia [never heard of 'em] and Killing Joke, I’ve got: KC & the Sunshine Band Keren Ann Kid Creole & the Coconuts I wouldn’t recommend them for the same set or mix tape, but they’re all pretty good. ---

> [@The\_Scrivener](#): > > KC & the Sunshine Band > Keren Ann > Kid Creole & the Coconuts I actually have a Kid Creole & the Coconuts song. They’re…weird. But, umm, “K.C.” doesn’t start with “K.E.”, last I checked. 😉 And yes to what **Hazle Weatherfield** said, it has to be last name / first name. Otherwise, I’d just fill the gap with Kenny Rogers and be done with it. 🆒
