THE ALMOST THREE
the voodoo blues funk rock'n'roll explosion

Band Website

KINETT KUSEL, Am Hofacker 11, 66869 Kusel

Der Bluesrock Wahnsinn ist wieder in der Stadt!!!
Nach „What?“ (CD2009), „Big Muff“ (CD2012), „Three“ (CD2017), „Limited“ (CD2019), und
� ...��It’s just Music“ (LP/CD2020) arbeiten THE ALMOST THREE zur Zeit an einem neuen Album.
THE ALMOST THREE ist Voodoo-Blues-Funk-Rock’n’Roll,
wie eine Mischung aus Neil Young Jimi Hendrix und George Clinton.
THE ALMOST THREE….. direkt, lebendig, waghalsig, voller Improvisation und schwer in eine musikalische Schublade zu stecken. Das Live-Programm besteht zu 89,7 % aus Eigenkompositionen. Auch ist es interessant zu hören, was passiert, wenn dieses Blues-Rock Trio doch z.B Klassiker wie „I’m not in Love“ von 10 CC oder „Let’s Dance“ von David.Bowie „durch den Wolf drehen“.
THE ALMOST THREE haben die Musik zwar damit nicht neu erfunden, blicken aber gekonnt über den Tellerrand des Blues-Rock Genres hinaus, und spinnen den Crossover – Gedanken auch in Zukunft professionell weiter.
Freundliche Reviews zu den bisherigen Veröffentlichungen findet man u.a. in den Print-Magazinen
ROCKS, JAZZTHING, GUITAR, ECLIPSED, BLUESNEWS, GOODTIMES
und GITARRE&BASS

DIRTY STREETS
GROOVE BLUES ROCK (US)

Band Website

KINETT KUSEL Am Hofacker 11 66869 Kusel

SOUL, GROOVE AND DIRTY BLOOZE
Scan the press on soul-groove outfit Dirty Streets and you'll see numerous references to rock, soul, and dirty-blooze touchs ...tones like the Faces, Humble Pie, Otis Redding, CCR, and more. Spin Dirty Streets' records and you'll hear all of those echoes, plus others—some jazz timing, some acoustic balladry.

But by and large, what you'll hear is a raw, rowdy blend of Motown, Stax, and rock—the pure American blood-beat moving through the heart of Memphis groove. Austin-born Justin Toland (guitar/vocals) found his own musical food early through his father, a classic-rock aficionado who turned Justin on to the Stones, Creedence, soul music and the Stax sound. At 17 Toland moved to Memphis and met Thomas Storz (bass), a native of the city, through mutual friends; the pair found common musical ground and began playing groove-grounded rock with a series of temporary drummers. Andrew Denham (drums), a Shreveport-born drummer, joined up with Storz and Toland in 2007.

Recorded at the beginning of the pandemic, their debut album for new label partner Blue Élan Records, Who's Gonna Love You, was released on September 30, 2022.

CHARLOTTE JACOBS
art pop from Belgium

Band Website

KINETT Kusel, Am Hofacker 11, 66869 Kusel

Brooklyn-by-Belgium vocalist Charlotte Jacobs transposes her world into music. Sights, movements, sounds and places coalesce, reflecting the artist’s sur ...roundings in lush electronic unison. Born and raised in her parents’ art gallery in a small village in the Flanders countryside, Jacobs’ dense avant-pop arrangements pull influence from visual art, poetry and contemporary dance, converting one artistic medium into another. After spending several years performing in Belgian electronic trio SEIREN while studying jazz vocals at The Royal Conservatory of Ghent, Jacobs began writing her own material, experimenting with vocal manipulation and unorthodox song structure.
Despite performing with multiple collaborative projects, as well as composing video game and film scores, it wasn’t until Charlotte Jacobs relocated to Brooklyn in 2017 when she began to thoroughly find her voice. It was there she embarked on a new eccentric musical exploration, collaborating with New York’s cohort of producers and artists while delving into the textures, shapes and colors of her own vocals in her Crown Heights bedroom. 2019 saw the release of Jacobs’ debut Fishtale EP, a lurid collection of forward-thinking pop tied together with the help of producer and engineer Zubin Hensler (Half Waif, The Westerlies, Hannah Epperson). Influenced by jazz vocalist Betty Carter, Bjork’s vocal-centered Medulla and Tirzah’s wheezing pop loops, Charlotte Jacobs’ music upends expectations, subverting tradition through playful fusions of style and genre.

ELLiS·D
disco post punk from UK

Band Website

KINETT Kusel, Am Hofacker 11, 66869 Kusel

Best known on as the manic drummer of Strange Cages, and more recently Jealous Nostril, ELLiS·D spent ten years flailing his limbs across the tattered kit ...s of UK and Europe’s basement DIY scene before starting out his solo project in 2021. Leaping viciously between psychedelic jangle, disco-infused kraut rock and taut post-punk attack, the intense energy found in the drummer-turned-frontman’s live performances mirrors the tongue-in-cheek, post-2016 nervous hysteria that run through his lyrics, driving at the heart of today’s doom-laden culture on the brink of nervous breakdown.
After signing with DIY label Crafting Room Recordings, the energy found in ELLiS·D’s live shows was replicated in the studio with an abundance of releases in 2022 notching up two EP’s and four singles in the space of 12 months, along with sell out shows at The Shacklewell Arms and Dream Bags Jaguar Shoes as part of a first UK headline tour.

JENNY DON'T AND THE SPURS
alternative country/cowboy punk from Portland, Oregon

Band Website

KINETT KUSEL, Am Hofacker 11, 66869 Kusel

Jenny Don't and the Spurs sind international bekannte Western-Rebel-Cowboy-Punks aus dem legendären und einflussreichen Rock'n'Roll-Untergrund von Portlan ...d, Oregon.
Nach dem tragischen Tod von Schlagzeuger Sam Henry (WIPERS) besteht die Band aus Sängerin Jenny Don't (Don't, Ladies Of The Night), Kelly Haliburton (P.R.O.B.L.E.M.S., Pierced Arrows, Defiance etc.) und Dean Miles (Rancid Vat).
Die sonst eher aus Punkrock- und Garage-Zusammenhängen bekannten Leute huldigen hier alten, klassischen Country- und Protestsängern aus den 1940er und 50er Jahren wie Patsy Cline, Ernest Tubb, Hank Williams Sr. oder Loretta Lynne. Musik aus einer Ära, in der die Grenzen zwischen Rock’n‘Roll und Country noch verschwommen waren und in der Musiker wie Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash und Carl Perkins zusammen touren konnten, ohne daß jemand mit der Wimper zuckte.
Auch mit neuem Line-up und nach unzähligen Shows in den USA, Europa und Australien sind die Intensität und Energie ihres Livesets ein Muss für jeden, der temperamentvolle, von Garage inspirierte Country-Musik mag, die mit Aufrichtigkeit und Überzeugung gespielt wird.
Die erste Single der Spurs erschien auf Fred Cole’s (Dead Moon) Label Tombstone Records, ihre drei Alben auf Doomtown Sounds und Mississippi Records.

AN EAGLE IN YOUR MIND
desert psych blues from france

Band Website

KINETT Kusel, Am Hofacker 11, 66869 Kusel

An Eagle in your Mind distills a folk bristling with heavy percussion, hypnotic delays, 70 'synths and exotic drones. An hypnotic folk at the crossroads of ... desert blues, electronic music, psychedelic rock and sacred music. Paradoxical alchemy between so many heterogeneous elements, An Eagle in your Mind likes to blur the borders. It's a nomad duo that pursues music as a journey, a thirst for horizon and light.
Since 2016 it is on the roads of Europe and Africa that the duo composes and records. Along the way, the duo surrounds itself with a colorful and flourishing instrumentarium: guembri (acoustic bass that accompanies the songs of healers from Sudan to Morocco), Indian harmonium, dreadnought guitar, banjo, Berber or Brazilian percussion, drum machine, synthesizers, etc.
From this base the duo brings out a modern folk, suffused with electric tension.

indie rock from Memphis

Band Website

KINETT Kusel, Am Hofacker 11, 66869 Kusel

Blvck Hippie is an Indie Rock Band from Memphis, TN tryna show Black kids they can be weird too. Blvck Hippie makes VHS-inspired music for anyone who’s e ...ver felt like an outsider. By melding an emo sensibility with an indie rock aesthetic Blvck Hippie creates tunes for getting unstuck, existing weirdly, and finding togetherness. Raw vocals pair with sticky guitar riffs, heart wrenching lyrics, and heavy breakdowns to create a live show for all of us raging inside. With their firmly indie attitude, refusal to accept the status quo, and knack for pushing musical boundaries, Blvck Hippie has turned being an outsider into their superpower. Blvck Hippie released their debut LP, If You Feel Alone At Parties in Fall 2021. Since then they’ve been touring across the US carving out a place for themselves on festival stages, at basement shows, and everywhere in between. Jasmine Albertson (KEXP) perfectly captures the must-experience nature of a Blvck Hippie show: “While their recorded material is fantastic, seeing theMemphis-based band live is an even more remarkable experience. The pure joy that emanates from every member of the primarily POC band is infectious and an absolute gift, especially considering the pain and hardships that inspired these songs.” In searching for a place to belong, Blvck Hippie is bringing us all along.
