Keila Myles & The Moose Knuckles: Suite 21 (NPR Tiny Desk Submission 2024) Keila Myles 2024-02-20 | Welcome to "Suite 21," a Tiny Desk Audition from the exciting and dynamic ensemble, Keila Myles & The Moose Knuckles. In a transformative revisit, Keila Myles breathed new life into the song originally released in 2020, masterfully recomposing it alongside Ralphie Ortiz (Ralphie.O), who brilliantly co-produced the captivating new version. The composition delves deeply into the harrowing topic of sexual assault. It's an audacious endeavor, aiming to shed light on this societal issue and instigate meaningful conversation around it."Suite 21" is a powerful testament to the raw emotions and pain associated with sexual assault, aiming to give voice to a topic often shrouded in silence. Recently revisited and extended, the song now serves as a more poignant reflection of its subject matter. The extension of the song allows for a deeper exploration of the emotions tied to it, thereby resonating with listeners on a profound level.Our musical journey is not just about creating melodies and harmonies; it's about telling stories that matter. It's about creating a deeply moving musical experience that echoes the courage and resilience of survivors worldwide.We invite you to join us on this profound journey, as we use music as a vessel to carry a powerful message. As the notes of "Suite 21" fill the air, we hope they resonate with you, inspiring understanding, empathy, and action. Our aim is for the song to become more than a melody, but a beacon of hope and a call to action, highlighting the strength and resilience of survivors.This is not just a Tiny Desk Audition; it's our stand against sexual assault, our tribute to survivors, and our contribution to a conversation that needs to be had. Join us, listen, and let the music speak.CREDITS:Cinematography - Nivia EasterlingLighting - Nivia Easterling Vocals - Keila MylesBass - Betcherly Calixte ‘Bet’Piano - Richard KirbyGuitar - Tristan Sayah Drums - Jevonne Lashley ‘J’Producer - Keila Myles Co- Composer - Rafael Otero ‘Ralphie.O’Sound Engineer - Stephen Cusano Mix & Mastering - Betcherly CalixteSpecial Thanks To My Family & Friends that support us and root for us!#tinydeskconcert2024#Suite21TinyDesk#KeilaMylesTinyDesk#TinyDeskPunkSoul#TinyDeskJourney#TinyDeskAudition2024#TinyDeskMooseKnucklesLYRICS: [written by Keila Myles]Told you not to fuck with me you seeNow your ass is stuck with me you seeBut I’m a peacemaker luckily you seePiece maker more like cutlery you seeOkay you thought it was itOkay you thought it was overYeah your open casket will be my only closureCause your minutes is limitedAnd they ain’t rolling overOkay you thought it was overYeah your open casket will be my only closureCause your minutes is limitedAnd they ain’t rolling overBewareBewareBewareYou’ve been warnedBewareCause one day darlingBewareYou’ve been warnedBewareOne day darlingWhat’s loveWhat’s loveWhat’s loveWhat’s loveLove ain’t in the airThat’s just your cologneBut i love it either way babyIm begging you pleaseJust take me homeCause there’s reason to stayEven more reason to goI can see you wanna takeThe last bitOf my controlWhy my controlMy controlWhy my controlWhy my controlMy controlWhy my controlGo find your ownWhy my controlWhy my controlMy controlMy controlSuite 21Suite 21Suite 21Suite 21Suite 21Suite 21Suite 21Suite 21Attempting to convince meOnce my birthday cups are emptyFill them up with complimentaryLong islands, shots of hennyI accept though I’ve had plentyI forget cause I had too manyI neglectDisrespectThe red flag raised within meOh oh ohSuite 21Suite 21Suite 21Suite 21Suite 21Suite 21Suite 21Suite 21I remember passing out in the blackWaking up in the whiteOf broad day lightIn your bed My hands cradled my headIm trying to recollect exactly what happened Im seeing Magnum wrappers Got me gagging Asking questions Like How did I Arrive at this addressWhy is all my club attireOn the side of your mattress And Not on my body Cause I don’t remember changing Why are my insides throbbingWhy are you not explaining Something that sounds logical I grew discontent With this theory of consentJudgment was not an obstacle So easily he overcame me I could make him famous But id rather leave him namelessTakes this memory And frame it

DONT YOU DARE GIVE UP! Keila Myles 2024-02-22 | It’s ok to be scared and do it anyways! That’s how we grow. 😬I challenge you to share that “thing” you’ve been working on that you’ve been afraid to put out into the world. Sometimes when we don’t share our work, it may do more harm than good. Here’s me sharing my “thing” I recently submitted an audition to #tinydesk performing my original “Suite 21” ✨Check it out for yourself if you wanna know what “punk soul” is. ✨youtu.be/mWLcT5gHYCw?si=SJP0NdKm8CudjoC7
As An Artist You Should.. Keila Myles 2024-02-17 | Art, to me, is a venture of risk. It’s about laying bare, initiating, challenging, and dismantling beliefs, narratives, concepts, and experiences. My creation process is intentional, and I strive to ensure my art authentically represents me. I desire my art to serve a purpose that I can take pride in.“Suite 21” carries profound emotional weight. Years after its creation, the lyrics retain the same intensity as when I first penned them. My hope is that viewers of our Tiny Desk audition comprehend the song’s significance and the intentions that underpin it.The path leading up to this point has been strenuous and demanding, but we are on the brink of crossing the finish line. Our audition will premiere on February 21 at 8 PM. I call upon our friends, supporters, and all who genuinely care for us to watch the video, share it, like it, and comment. Winning Tiny Desk would provide us an extraordinary opportunity to extend our reach as the pioneering punk soul band from Connecticut. #tinydesk #kmmktinydesk #ArtisticPhilosophy #RiskInArt #AuthenticRepresentation #Suite21 #SongReflection #TinyDeskAudition #ConnecticutPunkSoul #FinishLine #SupportLocalArtists #tinydeskconcert

Creating a Punk Flyer in Canva Keila Myles 2023-12-01 | Let me walk you through my process of creating my band’s (@kaymmkay)flyer for our upcoming show in January using Canva. (I love Canva) Typically I begin with identifying the style of the design I am going for. Is it pop, elegant, playful, bold, minimalistic etc?. Then I go over to Pinterest and look for inspiration typing in those design words. I usually find pieces from different works that I like and use them collectively as a loose reference. For this flyer, I envisioned a punk style flyer. I knew I wanted layers of different gritty textures, neon colors, a black background, different distressed elements and graffiti/handwritten fonts. Next I jump in starting with my main image. (Me 😊) and build on top of that. I definitely play around with the image’s lighting, tone, saturation and contrast to add more feeling and texture. After that I fill out my background space with different elements to add shape to the overall image. Each step of the way, I duplicate the previous layer so that I’m saving my work as a I go. It’s also helpful because sometimes while designing I’ll take a sharp left/right and change the entire design and this allows me to go back and compare variations of the same design or see if I’m on the right path to my vision. So far, I’m happy with where I am with this flyer. I love the bus with my band mates, I love the cherrie pie. Still workshopping the font but alas, I’m proud of my progress.
