Headed to Australia as part of this weekend’s stellar lineup for the very great, very green Boogie 7 music festival, Kitty, Daisy & Lewis are also gifting fans in Melbourne and Sydney with two very special headline shows.
The Durham siblings from Northwest London infuse a retro-tastic touch to their souful music, but also push the boundaries with their mix of rockabilly, jazz, blues, RnB, country and even Jamaican ska of the 40s, 50s and 60s. They believe in the tradition of music being handed down, played, performed, enjoyed and experienced as a gathering of family and friends.
It’s in keeping with that tradition they record on vintage equipment initially in their home studio modelled on the one at Sun Records and more recently at Atlantic Studios where the likes of Ray Charles recorded.
It’s been a rapid rise for the two soulful sisters and their mad genius brother who share songwriting duties and uniquely combine multi instruments. Since the release of their debut a mere 4 years ago they have become style leaders for a generation of 50s-obsessed, retro-clad twentysomethings, who reject contemporary culture. Their rise in popularity is also probably due in no small part to their always packed live shows which drive crowds into
a Southern Evangelical frenzy!
Having now become Australian festival stalwarts by being invited to play every major Australian festival including Meredith, Falls, Sydney Festival and most recently the Big Day Out, KD&L will be here this time for Bluesfest. They will play two very special sideshows in Melbourne and Sydney and will be accompanied as always for their live shows by their father on rhythm guitar and mother, Ingrid on upright bass and legendary Jamaican trumpet player Eddie “Tan Tan” Thornton.
