Lauraleigh and Tiffany Artsmyth are two of the dancers who supplement Akayate's dance, as well as performing with fire, both twirling poi as well as fire-eating. There are a few other supporting dancers such as Katalytic.On the band's website, they describe themselves as "an authentic Rock & Roll band" playing "Tribal Psychedelic Rock." [http://kannal.org/bioeng.htm] Many of the band's songs, especially live versions, are long, sprawling, epic affairs featuring layers of
flamenco -style guitar and thrumming bass guitar over the steady drone of didgeridoo and percussion, though shorter tracks like "All Things Change" and "Time" demonstrate the band's versatility and ability to effectively craft more accessible songs.Kan'Nal is signed to indie label Physiks Records, but distributes merchandise from its website through
