Local talent you miss

I've seen many indie bands come and go, but it's the ones who really had something that just disappear for whatever reasons that I miss the most. One band I miss a lot is Kai and the War Milk Boys, too large a band for the venues they played. Kai was like the Asian Bowie....his voice was a dead ringer for Bowie circa Ziggy Stardust, and he was a talented songwriter. He also had a tendency to get naked onstage, which is quite rock 'n roll, if you ask me. He was signed to a development deal with a music publisher who Mrs. cav was working for at the time, and we all became friends. Sadly, the publisher was bought out, and run into the ground. We haven't heard from Kai since. Here are some pics:
