ETHERIDGE/HEALY/SADLER/WOODS LINE-UP 3RD ANNIVERSARY

The "Reforged" version of Kaine reached it's third anniversary, having formed on this day in 2018. The line up of Rage Sadler (rhythm guitars and vocals), Liam Etheridge (drums), Toby Woods (lead guitars) and Isaac Healy (bass) has released a studio album (Reforge The Steel), two EP's (The Waystone and Kaine) and two live albums (Kaine X and Reforge The Steel Live) since their formation and is preparing to record a brand new album and EP this year.

3 YEARS OF KAINE REFORGED – RECAP

We've been looking back over the last 3 years as we reach the third anniversary of the new line-up coming together this week. Each article above covers the A Crisis of Faith line-up ending, and what Liam's, Toby's and Isaac's reflections are from the last three years with the band. We've also covered some of the earliest gigs with the band.

KAINE REFORGED – 3 YEARS ON – THOSE EARLY GIGS!

It was in this period that I wrote the 8 tracks for Reforge The Steel at home. I decided that to prove the band wasn't dead and this band was as good as ever, I had to get a new album out as quickly as possible.

3 YEARS OF KAINE REFORGED – BUT HOW DID THE NEW VERSION OF THE BAND COME ABOUT?

So, the night of the departure announcement I put up an advert for both positions and go to bed thinking that it was probably game over. In fact I had written a retirement statement that night anyway as I had fully expected it was game over. At that point in my life things were a bit of a nightmare anyway, I had started shift work in a warehouse after being made redundant the year previous from a job I had been at for a long time. I was working hard and my hours were all over the place, so my brain was scrambled trying to adapt to that on top of the band imploding suddenly immediately after an album release.

ISAAC HEALY ON HIS 3 YEARS WITH KAINE AND THE FUTURE OF THE BAND: “It would be great to get to play some larger venues, even as a support act for some more well-known bands. Of course, a tour or two wouldn’t hurt either.

For a dream gig or scenario, think it’d have to be headlining a sold-out tour, not even necessarily in massive stadiums or venues. Just decent-sized venues with great crowds, doesn’t even matter where in the world they are.

TOBY WOODS ON 3 YEARS OF BEING WITH KAINE: “I think the ultimate goal for all of us is Rockstar, isn’t it?  Why would you be in a band and not want that?”

Absolute dream situation, I'd love to play the Budokan in Japan.  So many of my favourite bands have played there and it would be awesome to be there playing.  A sold-out world tour in sensible sized venues would also be nice.  Just anything with a packed room of people who have come to see us really.  We got a little taste of it when we played the 10-year show but I can only imagine the feeling of having that every night.
