Kiss Kiss

Kiss Kiss are an experimental indie rock-band based in NEW YORK. Acquiring their name from a assortment of brief horror tales by Roald Dahl, the group’s exclusive style is certainly seen as a the prominent usage of the electrical violin in a otherwise typical indie rock and roll/punk set up. Kiss Kiss’ audio takes in affects as different as punk rock and roll, math rock and roll, and Eastern Western european folk, while their solid pop sensibilities make sure that their music is certainly both available and challenging at exactly the same time, like the extremely somewhat baroque lovechild of Cursive, Thursday night, and Gogol Bordello. Kiss Kiss produced in 2003 while drummer Jared Karns and vocalist Joshua Benash had been attending State School of NY at Buy. The lineup continued to be unstable for quite a while, with one stage the band attempted the addition of a cellist. It had been finally settled the next year by adding violinist Rebecca Schlappich and bassist Pat Lamothe, while Benash would talk about electric guitar and synthesizer responsibilities using a third brand-new recruit, Mike Abiuso. In June of 2007, bassist Pat Lamothe still left the band to be able to return to university, and was changed by Sam Oatts. Oatts was eventually replaced within the lineup by Patrick Southern prior to the recording from the band’s third record in 2008. Kiss Kiss documented their initial EP, entitled Kiss Kiss, and released it in Oct of 2005 on NJ indie label Eyeball Information, which had uncovered future major-label works My Chemical Love and Thursday night. In 2006, they started working with manufacturer D. Adam Goodwin (Murder by Loss of life the quantity Twelve APPEARS LIKE You) and documented their debut full-length record, Truth vs. the Optimist. In Dec, the group released a teaser EP formulated with songs from your recording free of charge download using their social media sites. On Dec 26, in response for an unauthorized drip online, the complete recording was offered for paid digital download. Fact vs. the Optimist was officially released in Feb of 2007 by Eyeball Information. In Dec, the group released a Xmas EP entitled Kiss Kissmas free of charge download; it included a reinterpretation of “Frosty the Snowman” known as “Frosty the Puddleman.” In July of 2009, another recording, The Meek Shall Inherit What’s Remaining, premiered on Eyeball Information.
