KISS KISS (w/ Ramona Cordova)
Tuesday, January 10th
8pm

The Kiss Kiss quintet comes all the way down from upstate New York in caravan bursting with “swirling synths, soaring vocals, and vibrant violins, layered over off-kilter time signatures and infectious melodies,” (so sweet-talks their MySpace…), to give Brooklyn a first-hand taste of their new EP off Eyeball Records.
Bolted straight to the tailpipe, and opening the night up, is the charmingly modest Romona Cordova, playing a selection of songs from his album “The Boy Who Floated Freely” “…Influenced by snow white, pinocchio, and oliver twist, The Boy Who Floated Freely is an eleven track musical amusement park- filled to the brim with snare, saw, toms, tamborine, organ, chime, accordion, birds, recorder, choir, crickets, cicadas, spanish lyrics, loud gypsies, synth, xylophone, whistling, clapping and vibra slapping. Fun for the whole family.”

(In their own words…):
“…but, I degress. About THE MERCANTILLERS… we are A SEA SHANTY BAND, really. Our instumentation is guitars, banjo, violin (fiddle), uke, squeeze-box, voices, bass (elec or upright), and percussion. Though I do not like to cubbyhole us… we lean towards folksy sorta blue-grass, kinda neo-urbanish, post-retro, americana… flannel shirt.”
