I’m all about finding new music to add to my daily playlist. When I stumbled upon Peach Kelli Pop, they were not only added to my daily playlist, they pretty much took it over. They will be at The Turf Club on Tuesday, June 19th for a show that is far too good to pass up. Peach Kelli Pop is a band from Los Angeles, CA by way of Ottawa, Canada and was founded by multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Allie Hanlon. The band is known for playing Ramones-structured rock songs: Fast tempos, 4/4 drums, layered with loud guitars, and laden with immediate, infectious vocal melodies. Hanlon’s songwriting is unique in how it encompasses great emotional profundity and the use of the abstract and imagination. Since Hanlon created Peach Kelli Pop in 2010, she has released 3 albums, a handful of 7’’s and tapes, and toured extensively (including annual trips to Japan). In that time, she also emigrated to Los Angeles where she met her bandmates: sisters Gina and Sophie Negrini (bass & guitar, respectively) and drummer Shelly Schimek.
A local favorite of mine, Kitten Forever, will be opening up the show. Kitten Forever is a Minneapolis-based drums and bass trio. Their distinctly danceable and minimalist punk rock is infused with pop sensibilities and a streamlined, energetic performance where Laura Larson, Corrie Harrigan, and Liz Elton switch instruments seamlessly throughout their live shows as well as in their recorded work. This democratic approach to performing and songwriting gives the band a unified front, deconstructing traditional stage hierarchy.
Local band Joust will be getting the night started off right.
