Q: Why is your band called Kite?
A: A classical Kite has a cross in the middle, (see our logotype) , without th cross it's just a piece of paper blowing wherever the wind blows it without any control at all. But when it's attached to a cross it flies stabile. We in the band want the cross (Jesus) in the centre of our music.
You can also se a vision of the trinity. The cross is the Kite is Jesus, in the cross there's a string leading to the master on the ground which may symbolise God. Still the kite can fly wherever the the wind blows but held by strong hands from the master on the ground. The wind leading the kite can symbolise the holy spirit.

Q: How do you write your songs?
A: Depends from time to time. On Soil (our first CD) most of the songs has started from an idea from one bandmember. We rehearsed the songs all together and everyone in the bands put their touch to the song and the arrangement. The songs for our forthcoming album has been written in the rehearsal-room or else some of us has made the basics for a song which later has been arranged together with the rest of the band. All lyrics are written by Josef.
