Kitty, Daisy & Lewis
Offiziell Bestätigt
The KD&L movement started about seven years ago when Big Steve the owner of a club called 'Come Down and Meet the Folks' asked Lewis to play a song with him as a floor spot. Just before the gig, Kitty sighted a drum kit and was eager to play. So when they played 'Folsom Prison Blues' with Lewis on the banjo, Kitty on the drums and Big Steve on the acoustic guitar, there was some idea of a band forming. Lewis and Kitty were asked to play again and this time Daisy wanted to play so she quickly learnt three chords on the accordion. They performed the same song 'Folsom Prison Blues'. At the time Kitty was eight, Lewis was ten and Daisy was twelve. They were then asked for the third time to play with Big Steve. On that gig they performed 'Mean Son of a Gun' with Kitty playing the harmonica and singing, Lewis had his Gretsch for the first time and Daisy was hitting one drum and a hi-hat. When the harmonica solo came people knew the joint was rockin'.
The three siblings – now aged 15, 20 and 18 - have since built a massive word of mouth audience through a stream of rapturously received gigs and festival appearances and have just released their first long player on Rob da Bank's Sunday Best Recordings label.
Multi-instrumentalists Kitty Daisy & Lewis all sing and play guitar, piano, banjo, drums, lap steel guitar, harmonica, double bass, ukulele, xylophone, trombone and accordion between them. The album was recorded in glorious, utterly digital-free analogue by Lewis and his father Graeme in their home studio in Kentish Town. A stickler for living and breathing the music they play and talk so passionately about, Lewis DJs, collects and even cuts his own 78rpm records himself when he isn't recording with his sisters. This obsessive passion for the vintage music that inspires their performances led to their compilation 'A to Z - Kitty, Daisy & Lewis - The Roots Of Rock n Roll' being named Guardian's 2007 'Albums Of The Year – 5/5'.
