On Friday October 21 Peninsula Events Australia will bring the Peninsula’s very own KISSCHASY back to their home ground to play one exclusive live show at the Somerville Mechanics Hall.
Even though their average age is only 20 years old this young quartet has been touring nationally for the last three years. They’ve released two successful EPs on indie label Below Par, and played alongside a host of Australian and International acts including Brand New, Gyroscope, Pennywise & The Ataris. But even with the indie success of the band’s debut singles (“Darkside” and “Reminder”), it’s always been clear that their best was yet to come. And it’s in their debut album – “United Paper People” – that the band has truly delivered the set of songs we all hoped they would. Bass player Joel Vanderuit said. “United paper people was a metaphor in one of our songs about somebody tearing apart something that is perfect. Like one of those paper chains you make when you’re young where the people are joined by the hand.”
Darren (“Daz”) Cordeux – lead singer, guitarist and songwriter for Kisschasy – is only 20 years old but for the last six years he’s been obsessed with penning The Perfect Pop Song. While his peers were still struggling with quadratic equations and the French revolution, Daz had already dropped out of school and was holed up in his bedroom with his guitar. As Cordeaux explains it… “we don’t write ‘poppy’ music to be digestible or to appeal to radio, we write it because we love it. We’re suckers for a sweet melody. The careful thing to do in a rock band is to avoid being cheesy, as long your passionate that’s what makes it a hard hitting song”. Daz’s knack for passionate and timeless songs has already helped Kisschasy become one of the most promising new bands in the country.
