KEIKI is made up of half-English female singer Dominique Van Cappellen-Waldock and half-Italian guitarist Raphaël Rastelli. When she was 18, Dominique met Ronnie James Dio, Black Sabbath’s second vocalist. This was to affect her love life for years, as well as her approach to music. Her passion was transformed into love of doom metal and cats, among other things. In the early nineties, Raphaël sublimated his outbreak of acne by putting together Les Jeunes, a band which was part of cult collective La Famille. They were to shake the rebellious kids of Wallonia and beyond. When KEIKI was founded in the noughties, their music had shifted from major to minor mode (”True heaviness lies in minor chords” claimed Tony Iommi from Black Sabbath). Today one feels that it combines a wide range of influences:

P.J. Harvey, Beastie Boys, Enon, Add N to X, Dead Kennedys and even Venom.

It may seem like a simple recipe: steady vocals, striking guitar riffs, beat boxes programmed in “step” mode only and, most of all, the supernatural sounds of the theremin – an instrument as hard to tame as a wild horse. But simple, it is not. It’s straightforward, catchy and groovy.

KEIKI will release its third album on Cheap Satanism Records released in february 2012. The album will be preceded by a single "Full Body Wolf" which features Pete Simonelli from ENABLERS.
