When I picture keytar-driven bands, it's usually those larger than life, cocaine-fueled '80s amphitheater rock bands, not some crazy eclectic punk band with elements of ska, metal, rap, cumbia and R&B. This is the conundrum of Molkahete. Yes, they are an interesting band that mixes up a million different genres and gives it a nutty, irreverent energy and even weaves in a bit of funny, intelligent lyrics, but do they understand the power of this instrument they're wielding? A keytar is not a joke. It is the ultimate symbol of rock and roll. So unless Molkahete plans on re-imagining Bon Jovi's "Living on a Prayer" and means it, I suggest they leave the humor to knock knock jokes. - Aaron Carnes sanjose.com
