Aaron Keenan The Keyman at MySpace!

Friday April 11th, 2008: The Keyman Here! :-)
I have found myself being more active on MySpace than I originally thought that I would be. I have been reconnecting with a lot of old friends, keeping in contact with current friends and family, making new friends, and doing a little networking in the art and music world through the wonders of MySpace. I have posted a lot of new pictures of me and my family on the site. As well as a great little gallery of pictures that showcase some of my artwork. I even put together an album of a dozen photos of the time when my brother and I got to hangout with Dream Theater after one of their concerts in Cincinnati. www.myspace.com/aaronkeenan
As of Valentines Day February 14th, 2008, my brother Vincent and his little family moved out of state. Like most of us stuck living here in this dying town, they always struggled to make it here in Connersville. She had some family living out of state. So they made the decision get out of this town to be closer to them. They seem to be happy and doing alright with the move so far. I had a band from Cincinnati find my profile on MySpace. For a moment it look like I was gonna go on the road with them this year. But they decided to keep their current keyboardist when he reassured the band about his level of comittment to them. I am still totally available to offer up my services as a musician and artist! I have played a few gigs as a solo entertainer since Vincent moved away. My show is everything that the two man show has been, minus one man. I have been putting in applications for another "real job" throughout the winter. I'm just now starting to get me some hits. I have a job orientation with our local Kmart store here in Connersville tommorow afternoon as of this posting. Looks like I will be a morning stock person for a while at Kmart. So that's pretty much the latest news on us right now. I am still considering the idea of gettin' the heck out of this dying town myself as soon as I can get up the money and the courage to try it again! Until that happens, I'm still here. By all means, please feel free to contact me if you'd like for me to play at your party or event or do something art or music related or even if just wanna drop me a line to say hi! Add me to your list of friends on MySpace! I'll take all the friends I can get!

Keyman Gettin' Back In Touch With His Artistic Side

Aaron Keenan Here :-)
I've been gettin' back in touch with my artistic side a lot more lately.
Someone asked me to paint some murals for their two kids in each one of their bedrooms.
Here's what I have done for them.

In the boy's room I have painted two characters from Disney Pixar's Cars movie.
Tow Mater is pictured on the left and Lightning McQueen is on the right.
Each one of these murals are about 4 to 5 feet wide!
It has taken me about a week for each to complete each image.

Tow Mater

Lightning McQueen

In the girl's room I have painted Disney Princess Characters - Pretty Cool Eh?!

Here's a couple of images of our new video projector in action!
We just got a new 70"x70" screen for this which is different from the cardboard screen shown here.

Here's a funny video clip of one our recent experiences at Jimbos garage!
Watch the mayhem unfold when an unsuspecting visitor arrives!!!
Here's a link to the video file: partyatjimbos.wmv
You can also right-click and choose "Save Target As..."

Quality is not the greatest since several things were done to reduce the file size so that it could be downloaded much faster. Is that Keyman on the drums?!!!

	There's a really great video of us playing live posted at D&Rs Hideaway's website! Filmed, edited and directed by Rick Parker. WOW! Whatta FANTASTIC Job! Go check it out! http://www.dandrshideaway.com/KeenanBrosatdrs.html Much thanks goes out to Rick for doing this for us. Our continued thanks to D&Rs Hideaway for all that they have done for us! Below are some great screenshots from the video!

Quick Info About The Keenan Bros

The Keenan Bros are a Two Man band from Connersville, Indiana.

Aaron Keenan plays the keyboards.

Vincent Keenan plays the drums.

The Keenan Bros can play a large variety of music.

They have many years of experience performing for live audiences.

Some of the cover music that they play the best is from bands like:
Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Pink Floyd, and Rush.

The Keenan Bros can be just as entertaining as a full band.

Since they are just two members,
they can be more affordable than hiring a band with more members.

You will want them back again and again!

HAVE A QUICK LOOK AT SOME OF THE EQUIPMENT THAT WE USE!
The Keenan Bros own and use a lot of really nice professional equipment.
Some of the key pieces are shown here with a brief description of each one.

Alesis DM PRO Drum Module
Has about 700 built-in drum sounds and 64 drum kits!
We can change the entire drum kit sound from song to song and even mid-song!
We can even create our own sounds from any sound that can be captured on a microphone!

	Shure Beta 58A Microphone One of the industry's most rugged mics, the Beta 58A's tight, consistant, supercardioid pattern helps eliminate feedback and keeps unwanted signals from "bleeding." Increased high-end frequency response (50 to 16,000Hz) and an improved internal shock mount make the Beta 58A perhaps the ultimate live vocal mic.
	TC Helicon VoiceLive Vocal Effects Processor Pedal Includes: 3-band EQ, Compression, Pitch Correction, Lead Voice Thickening, Natural 4-part Harmony, Tap-Tempo Delay, and TC Reverb. This is the ultimate vocal tool for the performing musician! This makes us sound like we have a whole group of back-up singers with us on stage! It can even change the gender of your voice. It can also be controlled with a keyboard or computer. I have it hooked up to my keyboard so that it follows the chords that I play, keeping our vocals in perfect tune!
	Yamaha EMX5000 Powered Mixing Board 1000 Watts of Rockin' Power! Super High Quality 32bit Digital FX 9-band EQ Subwoofer Output with built-in Crossover Too many features to mention!
	Mackie SWA1801 Powered Subwoofer 900 Watts of Earth Rattling Bass Power! Capable of Extreme Output Levels 135 Decibels - Which is literally just above the threshold of pain! (The theshold of pain for most humans is about 130 db.) Guaranteed to get some booty out on the dance floor!
	Yamaha Club Series V S115V Speakers We have a stereo pair of these Outstanding Full Range Performance Speakers! They can easily handle 500 Watts Continuously. They really are some of the best speakers available!
	Roland KC500 Keyboard Amplifiers We own a stereo pair of these bad boys! Each amp has it's own built-in mixing controls. Unique Stereo Link Connections XLR Line Outputs 3-band EQ Enough power to operate as a small PA System on their own!

Roland XP-80 Music Workstation Synthesizer - Fully Loaded!
Has room for 4 Expansion Circuit Boards & every slot is filled!
Roland SR-JV80-08 Keyboards of the '60s & '70s
Roland SR-JV80-09 Session Expansion
Roland SR-JV80-10 Bass & Drums Expansion
Roland SR-JV80-15 Special FX Collection
Powerful built-in sequencer, arpeggiator, trigger musical patterns
with the Realtime Phrase Sequencer at the press of a key.
Still one of the best keyboards that money can buy!

Vino's Drumkit
is a hybrid mixture of both acoustic and electronic percussion.
He has acoustic cymbals as well as electronic cymbals.
He has acoustic high hats as well as electronic high hats.
He has acoustic kick drum as well as electronic kick drum.
We have an Alesis DM PRO drum module AND an Alesis DM5 drum module!
The DM PRO module gives us the opportunity to create our own sounds from real
recorded sounds of real drums, instruments, sound fx, music loops, etc.
Anything that can be captured on a microphone or ripped from a CD
can be triggered from this drumkit! It's really an awesome thing!

Roland M-BD 1 Bass & Drums Sound Module
Roland M-SE 1 String Ensemble Sound Module
