It's in the union I think, I saw it on he back of a free 'zine when I was up flathunting. I'm pretty sure it's the last day in May.
Kitty Daisy & Lewis
- Thread starter ohmyliver
- Start date
reply to sunspots...i havent heard them at all other than catching them live by chance a year or so back when i was expecting some left field indie bands(i think david devant and spirit wife headlined that night)
IMHO kitty and co had impact and were fresh and exciting.
and were enjoying themselves which is a winner in my book..its its brillant that they are such young kids too and they are following their own musical path
i dont really follow the 50s scene generally but they seem a bit different to many other 50's influenced bands ..they werent really just rockabilly for a start,their musical style and influences havent been done to death... i think a lot of their appeal is VISUAL maybe it is a bit flat/soulless on radio?
i would definately recommend people to see them live if its a cheap price!
wonder if they listen to the collins kids at home? curious as to who they cite as their main influence..off to google them

Considering just how retro a lot of my music taste is, I don't quite know why K,D&L's music doesn't grab me.
It doesn't mean I think what K,D&L do is rubbish, just that my personal preferences differ. Once I got past the obvious novelty aspect, I didn't really think they added anything new to a tried and tested formula; and if there's nothing added, then I'd rather just get my kicks from the original source.
And more importantly, I've got a stomach ache this morning.

sounds fair enough really..if you know their sources well i can completely see how they will seem not that special..it floored me cos i hadnt thought about that style of music for a very long time and seemed such an antidoteany recomendations as to who their main influences are? many thanks for any names

Maybe.
We saw a band a couple of weeks ago - United Stoats of America - that did a Terry & Jerry cover
The legacy prevails!... cheers dub and sunspots for those names ..will seek out those artists at some point soon.should be great as i only know louis jordan from that list who i do like..such good natured music! want to try dl-ing the collins kids as well, wonder if the music is in fact anything like kitty and co. or if im just fixacted on the age/wholesome image comparisons and im suffering from false memories..possibly collins kids were more country...cant do music research right now tho sadly

Good job no-one did. They didn't turn up. Luckily I realised the minute sign before parting with my dosh, so just went to The Washington instead.
