MATTERZ INTERVIEW (short extract)

1. How did it all begin? When did you first get into performing?
Well, it all began on facebook. Abigail and Mandy were already in a band and were looking for the 3rd member, Mandy posted auditions on social networking sites, Jodie then applied, auditioned and here we are!

As for performing, we started performing not so long after we first recorded and filmed the video for Misfit. We didn't do many performances in the beginning, as we were still finding ourselves as a band, so the past couple of months has really been where we've been on the circuit... we currently gig or perform every week.

2. Who would you say your main influences are?
We have individual influences, but also band influences, so the main ones are: Labrinth, Ed Sheeran, Adele, Rhianna, Pink, and Jessie J.

3. Where can we catch you performing in 2013?
We can't say officially our gig venues and dates for 2013... but they will be bigger and better than 2012, so make sure you keep an eye out on our social sites, to hear where we're performing next.

Comments from review site: Leon Milk :
Loved your set last night. The band was great, especially that guitar player.....we wish you continued success. Good to see a girl band that can sing, in a market saturated with style over substance. You definitely have both these aspects in bucketloads. Peace & Love from Leon Milk...

It is with great pleasure that we announce the 'I Like It' Track of the Week Awards, week beginning 2 Dec 2012 ....chosen by Demi & John ....Congratulations to Mandy Giltjes and Kiss Off!

Mandy / Kiss Off

Cargo London came alive on Saturday with the 2012 Nail Show, which showcased some of the most talented nail professionals in the country. On one of the hottest days of the year, the popular Shoreditch venue opened its doors to create a diverse venue hosting stalls from Nail technician recruiters 'Nail Spec' to hand-painted press-on nail gurus '6 Dragonflies'.

The event had more to offer than just amazing nails, alongside stalls from 'Colour Riot Nails' and the popular 'Nails by Catriona' was the 'Shea Goodness' business.

...And to break up the nail excitement there were live performances from up and coming artists such as the incredible Davinia, B-Hype and peppy girl group Kiss Off, all hosted by Sasha Shantel of Inspire-LS Magazine.

REVIEW: GIGVERT


This is not one of our videos or the kind of act we typically work with, but I was quite taken by a cameo performance at a school summer fair by the girls, so I'm giving them centre stage. Great live vocals and a performance to rival any UK girl group out there. Although they were quite understated because of the nature of the event, you could see and hear the quality. I can see them going all the way if they get the right songs and a rub of the green!

Catch them at the Custom Bike Show this Saturday at HARLEY-DAVIDSON Thurrock. Beautiful girls and beautiful bikes!

A WORD FROM THE BAND....

..... .....

We are Kiss Off, a new group with a fresh urban pop sound: Mandy, Jodie and Abbie, all with something to say! The three of us are sure to bring you humour, drama and silly antics as we perform our new number, 'Misfit'.

We're all different, and 'Misfit' promotes independence and individuality. We hope the song will inspire people to be proud of who they are and to enjoy life to the full. No matter how strange, weird, odd or different you may feel inside, there is always the opportunity to embrace your own special uniqueness and stand out from the crowd.

You see this in our performance as we poke gentle fun at each other....we don't always have to conform; there are more important qualities to celebrate in people such as kindness, understanding and love...

Kiss Off are direct, approachable, hardworking and very ambitious. We have several gigs coming up soon. Take the opportunity to hear us when we're in your area.
