Chris Konen // Jeff Konen


Okay, I was gonna title this post "The Amazing Konens", but that sounded to much like "The Amazing Brandts", ha! These guys are basically into the whole boy band stuff, and are quite good at it. I used to be big fans of theirs befor ethe rock era swept my region. I remember the time when all the young ladies were swooning over them, especially after "Go Slow"! I'll still hand it to them that they were very good. Here are their songs:

Poor Jeff, I don't think he'd appriciate being refered to as a "boy band" singer. That guy Chris was one of those, all around musicians that was so annoying. Seriously, he could play drums, piano, guitar, sax, and WELL too!

God, where is that dude at now?

Paul said...

Oh look, all the ladies are coming back to discuss Chris again, I've awakened a sleeping giant, ha. I heard that they are still in Japan, & still singing together. But they aren'y in the Fam any more. Sob!

Boo ya said...

sigh....why must all hot men leavE?

Paul said...

Because all the hot women are hiding out in Mexico!

Jesse said...

Chris came to our shack/studio once. And we were gonna jam then he asked me to play a C9 or 11 chord so he could jam with his sax.
I didn't know what to do.

Jesse said...

I love "You are the one."
Really I do.

Paul said...

My favorite Jeff song is "Always here for you", & my favorite Chris song is "One More Time".

Hey if you evr see him again, tell him he still has fans!

Boo ya said...

gosh thats so cool...and no, neo not all hot women are in mexico...hehehe. :P and ...we dont really qualify for that. gosh i think sax is such a sexy instrument! am i right or am i right???:D

yea, chris and jeff are still in japan, they sing at wedding's and stuff like that for a living. ive met chris once out witnessing once, about a year ago, hes a great guy...got much better at singing, he went to the states and got quite a few offers from some companies, but he apparently doesnt really like the states cuz its a "dirty country",, and he likes japan. yea but they're not in the family anymore. its sad.

Paul said...

Wow, that's a lot of cool info. He used to be my role model, how times change...sob!

To kathy
If they aren't in Mexico, then where are they???

Anonymous said...

like i said, they're in japan, and they've always been, basically.

Paul said...

We wre talking about girls! (lol)

Anonymous said...

but that's a good point...there ARE girls in Japan and there always will be...heh...
Boy band? I guess you could say that. Nathaniel and TJ are the boy band people by far. I don't personally go for boy band music since I don't "Want it That Way"

Kirsten Ryan said...

oh yeah I agree with Kathy. I thot Jeff was the cutest guy after I watched "go slow". But I love both Chris and Jeff's singing so sexy!!

Anonymous said...

oh yea? does jeff even come out in that video?

Paul said...

Yes, Jeff play th elead guitar. When Chris first starts singing, he raises his hand in the air & starts swaying back & forth. I have no idea why.

Yeah kenfrog, there ARE plenty of beutiful girls in Japan.....I should know.....TJ & Nathaniel are also boy band style, they simply piced up where Jeff & Chris left off.

Anonymous said...

chris and jeff were never boyband, if not i wouldnt have liked them. :D and yes there are hot women here but i saw a quite a few in japan too. italy has hot women...jes not in the fam...:P too bad

Anonymous said...

ohhh right, he does come out.

japan is great. yes it is...

Paul said...

Jeff & Chris had voices that were boy band style, though perhaps their music was slightly more rock.

To Kathy:
Italy had a lovely girl in the Family, but then she went to Mexico. Why isn't she supposed to be online?

Anonymous said...

their music wasnt rock...it was like.....suave and nice. :D

cause shes doin something..different. oh gosh i like ur blog. :)

Paul said...

It sure was nice!
I like yours a lot to, and now i know why you aren't supposed be online. xoxox

Anonymous said...

boy band...neo dont say they too loud, whiile it true its also very offensive(or at least it should be)

Paul said...

Its not. Boy Band style is fine, there are a lot of cool Family songs that are that style. Broden your tastes.

Anonymous said...

CHRIS was boy band singer, JEFF was very very much a heartfelt singer!! Okay? Ooookey dokey!!

Boo ya said...

chris is goodlooking n has a great voice...i dind tthink he has boyband. NTL is boyband....but hey sum ppl like it.

Anonymous said...

i totally agree with kathy, ntl is totally boyband style, chris was not.

Paul said...

So confusing! Oh well, I always considered Chris boyband style, but it really doesn't matter. He was great anyway.

Hey, Neo--one last swan song!

Paul said...

Ha ha, I'm gone for a few days & this site goes nuts. Thanks for the link Amaranthine, I've been looking for it everywhere. I'll see what I can do about "Go Slow" babyfreespirit.

Anonymous said...

I always liked Chris's Voice over Jeff's. It's more controlled and easy. Jeff sounded a little try-hard.
Personally.
But they both kicked ass. GB'm.

Paul said...

Yeah, my bro thinks exactly the same.

Anonymous said...

brazil? hot girls?!?! well i rather think there are other countries with hotter girls, brazilians tend to all have the same.. err, "brazilian" look.

anyways.. babylove,
im also a person who likes chris's voice better!!

Paul said...

Yes they, they all look very similar, ha. But some are rather hot......as are you Babylove!

Anonymous said...

chris totally has a better voice,, but jeff has a great voice as well.

Anonymous said...

Yes, I always prefered Chris' voice.

Anonymous said...

Peoples.... since Jeff is more handsome and since he is older...therefore that makes him better, okay? cool!

Ei-chan

Paul said...

Nope, not okay. I like Chris better.

Anonymous said...

Arghh, I don't know what was with "go slow", but yeah, somehow, the girls seemed to do nothing, but swoon after watching it. It was really something. They almost literally rocked the pants off some girls. "Died for You," was my favourite of their songs. Personally, I preferred Jeff's songs.

ryan said...

yeah, died for u was the best of jeffs, totally. and no, bro, i didnt swoon over him....it wuz caleb! oh yeah, where is he now? didnt he sing 7 vials? theres a hot dude

Paul said...

Yes, Caleb sang "Seven Vials" & "Jesus Is Calling" both totally awesome songs! But unfortunately that is the extent of his published works. Ha, you guys seem to have grown up the same way I did, we could have a LOT of fun disscussing Family videos & music that we remember.

Drakeot said...

Hmmm, Ryan, I think I can remember something a little contrary to what you mentioned in your last comment, but I'll keep it to myself. I'm not like, gonna post it on this blog. Snicker, snicker

Paul said...

Ha ha ha -all girls were guilty of swooning at Go Slow no matter how much they denied it later!!!

ryan said...

nah, caleb wuz cuter! we always used 2 call him 'chuck-seeker', b4 we found out his real name. lol
btw, i dont recall jesus is calling, wat tape/cd wuz that in?

Drakeot said...

Jesus is calling was on March on Strong I believe, that is why we never heard it 'cause we never got the tape, but now, ha ha, due to some of my special agent-powers I can proceed as if possessing because I am possessing it. Yeah, Chuck-seeker was a real "searcher"(snicker). And I totally agree with you Neo. ALL the girls, and I repeat all, I believe, were hot onto Chris' tail, even if they refuse to admit it now, ha, ha. He was a lucky fellow, in those days.

Paul said...

Jesus is Calling is the 2nd song on "Big Change Comeing" Ftt-16. Ha ha ha -everyone called him Chuck Seeker (with the special report on the Bible).

Paul said...

He also sang the chorus on "Take Time" -FTT 15 Heartbeat

Drakeot said...

Yeah, right, I just saw it myself, and felt stupid putting March on Strong on here, but Big Change Coming was also one of the CDs that we never got, along with The Rocker, Winding Mountain Trails, etc., etc., etc. Wow, too bad for us, we really missed out.

Paul said...

Well, that's what the MO site is for! And if you can't get it there -you can go to NuBeat.

Drakeot said...

Yeah, I know, but we only got the internet connection that we have now, which is fairly decent for our country, like 1 year ago and it only works like 1/2 of the time, so downloading music is something we've never been able to do until just recently. We still wouldn't if we would have to pay for this connection. TYJ for sponsors. Anyway...

Paul said...

TYJ. It's so nice when you finally get a halfway decent connection. I pray that all Family homes will get one so they can download all the wonderful material that the Lord is poring down on us.

Drakeot said...

How is the internet in Cambodia? Must be okay.

Paul said...

It's getting better & better. A few years ago it was shit, but now its good enough. We have 512 kilobits per sec LAN.

Drakeot said...

Whoa, that's incredible, we are like "gasp! PTL!" when ours goes up to 7 kilobites per sec. Sometimes it goes down to 512 bites per sec, heh!

ryan said...

ahem! Neo, shouldnt u delete ur own comment? courtesy of the 's' word???

Drakeot said...

I didn't even notice that sister. You must really be looking for those "s" words, heh! I agree with you though.

Unknown said...

which one?

Paul said...

Oh! did you mean "sob"? That did not mean s-o-b, it was a anamatapea for crying. You know "sniff, sob"

ryan said...

hmmmm... no i meant the word following 'a few years ago it wuz...' maybe all the negative stuff is getting to u... heheh

Paul said...

Oh -heh sorry about that. But sometimes you have to call a spade a spade....

Anonymous said...

Hey I am so happy I found something about Chris and Jeff and that I'm not the only girl left still falling in love with their voices. In my opinion Chris has the most soaring smooth voice while Jeff's is more...fatherly or something and I loved it when they sang together. I'm sure they're awesome ppl, even if they left...hopefully we will hear from them soon! BTW, you rock, Neo!
