Bio:: Rising from the clubs of San Diego, and the ashes of several local bands including the last band of the late “Ratt” guitarist Robbin Crosby, V Child broke into the “Indie Rock” scene in 2008 with their debut demo CD, V Child. Dave Rolland the editor of "CityBeat" magazine says Ken Najbert's fantastic baritone voice reminds him of early "Pearl Jam" and "Soundgarden" The band's latest single “It’s a girl” was recently showcased on “Good Morning San Diego”. V Child mixes Ken Najbert’s versatile and hypnotic vocals with effervescent guitar work to fashion a disc overflowing with well crafted and memorable tunes. Ken has played on stage with Weezer and was coined by Dweezil Zappa as “the human air horn”. Dan “KretinRock” Smith on drums and Ron Call on bass complete the rock solid rhythm section that has had comparisons to some of the best! With standout tracks like "Gas Tank","Royal Maya Crypt," and “The Day After” hitting the radio airwaves far and wide, V Child is an essential addition to any music lover's library . Kaos Tom’s band review of their first live show at Dreamstreet said: “LISTENING TO THEM I FELT I WAS CATCHING A RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS / ROBIN TROWER FEEL AND KEPT THINKING OF CANADIAN BANDS LIKE BTO AND RUSH. I THINK IT WAS SOME SORT OF VIBE THING. IT TURNS OUT THE GUITARIST & SINGER (KEN NAJBERT) IS FROM CANADA. SOMEHOW THEY CREATED THEIR OWN ORIGINAL SOUND
