Bristol punk rock - Kiss me, Killer
Riot grrl femme fatales
The band have come up with their fist few bits of merch, which we’ll have available at our first few gigs.
First up, AJ the drummer stencilled some punk-as-hell DIY patches. David printed up some stickers and his daughters got to worker with their badge press making a variety of pin badges – the leopard print ones seemed to be a firm favourite with people.
Stayed tuned too for a bit of news on the tshirt front.
Kiss Me, Killer got off the mark as a gigging machine at The Chelsea Inn on 10 February 2017, supporting the riotous Soviet-styled boogie punks, Chernobyl Boogie.
The gig presented by our friends the Carnival Punks went down a storm with the band and fellow locals Trees of Rage warming up a packed Chelsea crowd for the headliners.
Never shy to promote a bit of inconspicuous consumption we’d knocked up three little bits of merch DIY-style, including DIY stickers by David, pin badges mostly crafted up by David’s young daughters and some hot hand-made patches by AJ the drummer.
We remembered most of the songs, improvising over the glitches like troopers, got a lot of love from the audience and were immediately offered another gig. Result!
Legendary local music ‘tog Meg Manley was there too and snapped some beautiful images. There’s one on this page and you can see more over on her Facebook page.
Not a bad first night’s work…
Here’s another rough rehearsal recording for you: From the Inside.
It’s one of our shorter songs and one of the heavier ones. Guitars didn’t record too well but you hopefully get a flavour.
David decided vintage keep fit videos and monster trucks seemed to work well with the sounds and lyric.
It was recorded 100% live in the rehearsal space at Room4 Studios, St George, Bristol with a bunch of mics placed here and there. Room4 is a a really nice place to practice, much more salubrious than most. Check them out.
