KALAMIT̄ Banner

Here's who we are.

Introduction
Who are we?
We are KALAMIT̄, a rock band out of central Illinois. Our band was formed by two pairs of brothers and cousins: Klayton and Kage Kowalski, Aiden and Evan Tonarelli.
How's it pronounced?
It's pronounced "Calamity", with optional emphasis on the "T" sound. The starting "K" and ending "T" reflect the last names of our members.
What kind of music do we play?
We focus mostly on 1970s - 2000s rock and its adjacent genres, but we try to include a variety of music in our repertoire. We're also beginning to make our own music. See our song list for examples.
