November 9 2014 6:30PM doors -- music at 7:30PM ••• ALL AGES $12 in advance / $14 at the door The Kin thekin.com/ Grit Pop Sophie And The Bom Boms www.facebook.com/Sophieandthebbs pop KnightressM1 www.facebook.com/KnightressM1 Rock The Kin ISAAC Koren (vocals, keyboards) / THORALD (vocals, guitar, keyboards) / SHAKERLEG (drums, percussion) -from NYC. -One night a little over a year ago, three young men burst into New York City’s Lower East Side mainstay, Katz’s Delicatessen, and held the joint up. Sort of. HIJACK and THORALD, along with drummer SHAKERLEG, make up New York City band The Kin, were looking to rob ears, not wallets. “Ladies and gentlemen, this is a musical robbery!” shouted Hijack as he strode in with Thorald on his heels strumming a guitar. The duo launched into an original song, “Downtown Train” for the restaurant’s patrons, winning them over with their energetic performance, rich harmonies, and sheer nerve. The Kin have launched several of these “musical robberies,” including at the Sundance Film Festival, SXSW, Soho House, and Seven Grand Whiskey Bar in Los Angeles, even at a French airport. “We’re looking to surprise people and give them a musical experience,” Isaac says. “Even if it’s just for a split second, it’s a rush for everyone involved.” The Kin have been capturing their gritty 'danger-pop' sound in the studio, working with legendary producer Tony Visconti (best known for his work with David Bowie and T.Rex), as well as former Record Plant staff engineer Jack Douglas (John Lennon, Aerosmith) and Nic Hard (Joey Ramone, The Church) to record the songs that will make up the band’s major-label debut album to be released by Interscope later this year, which will include the single 'On the Rise.' The question was: How do you bring to life something that is so explosive live? One way has been to showcase not only Hijack and Thorald’s dual lead vocals and familial harmonies, but also the raw power of Shakerleg’s stick-free, bare-knuckle percussive stylings which the Buffalo, NY-native honed through years of trying to get the attention of apathetic commuters while performing on NYC subway platforms before he agreed to join The Kin. "I don’t think we truly became The Kin until Shakerleg joined. For the six years before that, we played with great musicians but it always felt like we were putting together an ensemble. Now it makes sense." Sophie And The Bom Boms Sophie Stern et al -from L.A. -Just when you thought things couldn't get any catchier than Sara Bareilles, Katy Perry, or even Britney Spears (yeah, we went there...), Sophie Stern comes along. This comparison is no exaggeration, either, especially given the LA songwriter first perfected her chops writing jams for #1 pop princesses like these (she's signed by the Grammy-winning producer Dr. Luke). But after penning tracks for Spears, Kendrick Lamar, and Kesha, she's stepping out of the background and into the spotlight with her new project Sophie And The Bom Boms. Fusing her radio-friendly pop melodies with seriously perky lyrics and an empowering sing-along chorus, her debut EP Shmixtape is candy-coated pop at its catchiest--as bubbly as a Pixie Stick and packed with the attitude of Sour Patch Kids. While the head-bobbing music might sound sweet, don't discount it as pure sugar just yet. KnightressM1 Emily Palen, Bryan Dean, and Rob Ahlers. -From Midland, Michigan. -KnightressM1 is the hard-driving, violin-fronted, power-rock trio formed by Emily Palen. This dream child of a musical force was born from her passion for epic hard rock and the heartbreaking harmonies of her classical music training. Proving the violin is a viable and natural front instrument for the heaviest of rock and roll, Palen brings a refreshing take to the typical band landscape. Build on a solid foundation of bass and drums, these gritty and gorgeous violin sounds finished with raw vocals dedicated to speak the truth, build an entirely new sound appropriate for an ascending world. Anchored firmly in the raw authenticity of the human heart, KnightressM1 emobides the galactic superhero who is bringing much-needed magic to this world. Using the energetic power of musical alchemy, starseed coding and the quantum, KnightressM1 pledges to create a place for you to embody your own superhero. |
