Kaura is an American, progressive, alternative rock band from Los Angeles, California. Kaura is a band formed in 2005 by Malcolm Guess and Benjamin Jones. The band has been invited to open for the likes of Tool, Rob Zombie, and Entrance Band by Bill Graham Presents in San Francisco. The band's sound is recognizable by its trademark use of ancient instruments like Hammered Dulcimer, Indonesian Gamelan, and Indian Tabla as well as delayed guitars, and an epic and aggressive sound.

The band has been invited to open for the likes of Tool, Rob Zombie, and Entrance Band by Bill Graham Presents in San Francisco. The band's sound is recognizable by its trademark use of ancient instruments like Hammered Dulcimer, Indonesian Gamelan, and Indian Tabla as well as delayed guitars, and an epic and aggressive sound.

Kaura released their first full-length album in Sept of 2011 which was packaged with a DVD that included two new music videos and an hour long making of the album documentary.

Shortly following the release of their full-length album, Kaura successfully funded the making of an acoustic CD/DVD titled "The Acoustic Sessions", by the use of their Kickstarter.com campaign. Production of "The Acoustic Sessions" was completed in January 2012 and is set to be released in March 2012.
