Cairo Knife Fight

Cairo Knife Fight is redefining what two musicians can create live, slaying audiences across the globe with their beautifully raw and primal uniqueness. Formed in New Zealand, now Los Angeles and Las Vegas based….Cairo Knife Fight is: Nick Gaffaney on lead vocals, drums and keyboard bass (all at the same time) and George Pajon Jr. (Grammy winning guitarist for some of the biggest names in the business: Black Eyed Peas, Fergie, Carlos Santana, Macy Gray, John Legend, Nas and Sting) creating limitless guitar soundscapes and incendiary riffs. 

The band's incorporation of various loops and live treatments pushes the limits of what two musicians can do on one stage. George and Nick recorded 20 new songs at Dave Grohl’s 606 Studio, in Los Angeles. Produced by John Lousteau (longtime Foo Fighters and 606 engineer), and the band themselves, the songs were recorded on the legendary Neve console from Sound City, the same console responsible for some of the biggest selling songs and albums of all time. 

Vocals were recorded at the band's own studio in Los Angeles, and were produced by Phredley Brown, best known for his work as Musical Director and guitarist for Bruno Mars and Katy Perry, and Vocal Producer on the hit television series American Idol. The album was mixed by Dylan Dresdow (multi-grammy winning producer/mixer: Prince, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Usher, Black Eyed Peas, Nas, etc.) at the Future, the acclaimed Hollywood studio owned by Will I. Am, of the Black Eyed Peas.

Cairo Knife Fight have released the single "Churn" to Rock Radio and it's already been received with a strong positive response. The duo will also be rocking the #Happens opening night cocktail reception in Las Vegas on Wednesday, February 22nd. After that showcase, expect the band to tour relentlessly for the next few years.
