Look out music lovers! Karma the band is here to stay!

Both current Moorpark students, Andrew Cohen, Psychology major, and Ben Zelico, Business major, were asked to be part of Karma about a month ago, and recorded with the band at Paramount Studios shortly after on Sept. 30.

Bassist and student at Los Angeles Recording School, Casey Manheim explained the origin of Karma and how he and vocalist, Landon Hajdu came together to later scout out Cohen and Zelico.

Manheim explained that he met Hajdu, student at “The Musician’s Institute,” in Santa Barbara while visiting some friends before they knew the base for their band had formed.

“I was playing the guitar in a room, and Landon walked in and we started jamming,” Manheim said. “After he finished doing a six week class at Berkeley in Boston, we decided we wanted to put something together.”

Manheim explained that the two of them played a few shows around Hollywood, at the House of Blues and Los Globos Night Club, shortly after Cohen and Zelico came on board.

“We decided to start recording and realized we really needed a guitar player and a drummer,” Manheim said. “Landon realized he should ask Andrew and Ben.”

Manheim personally vouched the talent Hadju felt among Cohen and Zeilico and that Hadju personally had in the past mentioned that he wanted to play with them before.

Sorry ladies, while Karma opened up to the fact that they may have a girl featured on a recording, they don’t think having one join them live is their thing.

Cohen and Zelico are long-term friends and have known each other since pre-school.

Cohen and Zelico took a moment to describe the differences among the band Karma, and their band, Alphabet. In doing so, they unanimously agreed on the connection.

“It’s very different from this band,” explained Zelico.

“It still rocks out but in a different way,” said Cohen.

Karma played at the Whisky-A-Go-Go on Oct. 12 as their first stop as a band together.

The show began roughly at 8 p.m. lasting until about 9 p.m., where afterwards, fans were asking for them to play more.

Danny Steele, both a long-term friend to the band and a Physiology major at Moorpark described his thoughts on Karma’s performance.

“I had an amazing time,” Steele said.”I’ve known Landon my entire life. We’d sit in his garage and he would play music to me since day one and I knew since then he was going to make it.”

Steele, based on Karma’s player composition, refers to them as the “Dream Team.”

You can see them on Nov. 2, at the Cobalt Café in Canoga Park at 7 p.m.
