Boston-Based Indie/Pop group Black Kettle formed in 2009 with songwriters Keeley Bumford (Vocals) and Kailynn West (Guitar). After a year of rigorous writing, rewriting, and recording, they compensated for their cold city winter with a sunny debut CD called "Narrative." Released Spring of 2010, it earned them a spot on the Boston Phoenix's top 5 local bands to watch for the upcoming year. Don't let these happy sounding tunes fool you- its about more than just falling in and out of love. <a href

Quotes

  • Although wrongs have been done to me I live in hopes. I have not got two hearts. … Now we are together again to make peace. My shame is as big as the earth, although I will do what my friends advise me to do. I once thought that I was the only man who persevered to be the friend of the white man, but since they have come and cleaned out our lodges, horses, and everything else, it is hard for me to believe the white man anymore.
  • The Cheyennes do not fight at all this side of the Arkansas, but north some young warriors were fired upon and then the fight began.
  • Although the troops have struck us, we throw it all behind and are glad to meet you in peace and friendship.
  • The white people can go wherever they please and they will not be disturbed by us, and I want you to let them know.
  • We were once friends with the whites, but you nudged us out of the way by your intrigues, and now when we are in council you keep nudging each other. Why don't you talk, and go straight, and let all be well?
