TIX VIA OZTIX


KISSCHASY consists of Darren Cordeaux, Joel Vanderuit, Karl Ammitzboll and Sean Thomas who formed the band way back in 2002 when they were growing up together in the country town of Balnarring on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula.

On the band’s debut album United Paper People and its follow up Hymns For The Non-Believer KISSCHASY showed a knack for energetic and melodic guitar pop that made them firm Triple J faves and earned them ARIA Award nominations. Anthems like “The Do Do’s and Whoa-ohs” and “Opinions Won’t Keep You Warm At Night” saw the group’s live popularity rise to the point where they sold out major venues like Sydney’s Enmore Theatre and The Forum in Melbourne in 2008. The songs also led to both albums eventually being certified gold with combined sales of over 100,000 copies.

Fast forward a year later and their third Seizures was nothing less than a quantum leap creatively and, as such, attracted both deeper and broader attention. It was recorded in Los Angeles through 2009 with legendary indie-rock producer Rob Schnapf (Elliott Smith, Beck, Powderfinger, The Vines) and the band delivered smart songwriting, huge hooks and killer harmonies on their third long-player. Seizures featured the singles "Generation Why", "Turnaround" and the 2010 gold selling fan favourite "Dinosaur". The band were also awarded the publicly voted Channel [V] Oz Artist of the Year around this time.

KISSCHASY boast a rock-solid rhythm section and off-the-leash guitar chops to rival any of their peers and their blistering live shows are testament to a band who have well and truly hit their stride.
