Kitty, Daisy & Lewis are very excited to make their US debut this summer with their international critically acclaimed self-titled debut, set for a US release on August 11th via DH Records / Mercer Street Records. This multi-instrumental family trio, are a thoroughbred sensation, playing 40's/50's rockabilly and swing, country and western, Hawaiian and rock 'n' roll with a verve, skill and energy that connects them back to the far past and the future. Beginning July 10th in Portland, Oregon, the teen siblings will join Coldplay for a 6-week North American tour that includes impressive venues such as Washington State's Gorge Amphitheatre and a slot at this year's All Points West Festival in New York, NY.
"Kitty, Daisy & Lewis" swings with the passion, intensity and sheer exuberant joie de vivre that has made their live performances one of the most talked about shows within the UK gig and festival circuit. The trio's irresistible music, energy and charm has caught the attention of many including the NME, Artrocker and The Guardian UK who rave KD&L "gleefully rummages through the 1940s and 50s with such joy that both aficionados and those who wouldn't know boogie-woogie from rockabilly should be equally entertained." Dazed and Confused goes on to say "inciting riots à la Johnny Cash one moment and prompting heartbreak over a bottle of whiskey the next, they do what country musicians have been unrivalled for decades, taking a classic and branding it their own."
The love Kitty, Daisy & Lewis have for legendary artists like Louis Jordan, Louis Prima, Johnny Cash and Roy Brown, among many others, has led to a series of glorious, utterly digital-free analogue recordings, one that was even released as a limited edition 78rpm 10" vinyl album, the first of its kind in over 50 years. "Kitty, Daisy & Lewis" was cut in the siblings' home made studio, inspired by legendary studios like Sun, Chess and Motown, during school holidays, and features their mom and dad as their backing band.
"Kitty, Daisy & Lewis" will be licensed for US release by Sunday Best Recordings, the label A&Red by BBC Radio 1 DJ, Rob da Bank.
