Saint Louis native Dan Keehnast is drummer with Machree. He also plays drums with doom/sludge/stoner band Fister.



During the summer of 2005, Dan Keehnast began producing his own beats when a friend purchased some recording equipment. Keehnast quickly began to hone his skills.



Corey Kaltenbach, a friend of Dan Keehnast’s who had also played in several bands in the Saint Louis area, started to come up with hooks and other lyrical concepts to Keehnast’s beats, and eventually decided to collaborate. The two then decided upon the name CKDK by merely fusing their initial’s together.
