It was the late nineties and the decade had seen some definite highlights for the KGB. The band had released "Call it what you want", a cd of original songs written by Kevin and long time bandmate Jeff Coates. The band had become regulars on the blues circuit in Quebec, appearing at festivals with established artists such as Powder Blues Band, Brian Lee, Buddy Guy, Colin James and the late great Jeff Healey. Kevin won a Fender "Stevie Ray Vaughan" signature Stratocaster in a competition sponsored by CHOM FM and judged by Quebec rocker Aldo Nova. The band had completed a successful tour of Europe, playing dates in Germany, France and Belgium.

So, the next logical step was of course to break up. Creative differences, artistic contrariety, call it what you want, the band was done. Jeff headed to the East Coast to perform solo and as part of the band Flat Fifth. Kevin joined the newly formed group "No Stress". It kept him busy, and the years flew by, but he yearned to return to his blues rock roots and longed to resurrect the KGB franchise with another cd of original songs he had been working on. Along with Julian Reusing on the drums, Marc-Andre Gouin on the bass, Christian Gagner on keyboards and a collection of talented friends and musicians from the area, they started recording the new album "Sow The Wind". Thus, the KGB is back in business and ready to take you on a blues rock road trip, right between the ditches with the dirty side down.
