Grand Palladium Into Limbo

Recorded on December 15, 1988, during the tour for Talk Is Cheap, Live at the Hollywood Palladium is a loose, groove-laden affair, featuring the best from Keith Richards' first solo album as well as some Stones classics – mostly tunes he took lead vocals on. Opening with "Take It So Hard," the first thing that hits the listener is the lack of the gloss that was probably the only drawback to Talk Is Cheap, which is a very good thing, because while the album was still leaps and bounds more real than, say, Dirty Work, this live collection is loose without ever getting away from the band, and has an organic feel not present in the Stones' work since the early '70s. Rockers like "Whip It Up" and "Struggle" swagger, while Sarah Dash shines on "Make No Mistake" and "Time Is On My Side."

Kai D'Raiz was born in March 2014 with this objective, to merge different aesthetic expressions that are part of the baggage of each of its members. This ensemble is crossed by the academic / contemporary music, the folklore and the jazz and of each of these musical genres seeks to subtract its stage to turn it into a genuine artistic expression.
