Kisses 'Heart Of The Night Life' Australian Tour

LA duo Kisses have really got the bloggers talking with their wistful disco-pop debut, The Heart of the Night Life. Some call them New Order meets Belle and Sebastian, others call them Jens Lekman meets Summer Camp and NME call them one of the Best 50 New Bands of the Year.  Call them what you want to their faces this June when they bring their Heart Of The Night Life Album Tour to Australia and play at LAST NIGHT!

Kisses are a boyfriend/girlfriend team of Jesse Kivel on vocals and his fashionista lady friend, Zinzi Edmundson on keys. Jesse is obviously a man who likes to keep it in the family since he’s also in a band with his twin brother – LA’s Princeton, currently on tour with Brooklyn noise-pop heroes Sleigh Bells.

Jesse and Zinzi make sunny but sad dance music with their album mixing both the upbeat and optimistic elements of new-wave with a touch of the melancholy about them. Kind of like a prettier, sun-kissed Californian version of the Pet Shop Boys. Check out their videos for Bermuda, Kisses and People Can Do the Most Amazing Things to see for yourself.

Don’t let the “doleful disco” tag fool you, Kisses have built quite a reputation for their fun-filled dance-orientated shows. We can’t wait to see what they do at LAST NIGHT; expect running mascara, sweaty t-shirts, sore ankles and a new love-interest by the nights end.
