DINGWALLS
Fantastic evening; 170 people had come to hear Kiss Off! We performed several of our well-known numbers including Misfit, Number One, Paranoid, and some new ones.

ND comment - Tin Soldiers was particularly good ... skilfully written, very catchy, and gave Kiss Off's live band the chance to shine.

KISS OFF BLOG
Kiss Off now have a blog - this will keep you up-to-date with developments. See http://kissoffmusic.blogspot.co.uk .

An extract from the blog:

Last Friday we were invited by Space Promotions to perform at the ‘Play It Forward’ gig at the quirky Nolias 11 venue on Stamford Street, Southbank.

It was slightly nerve racking because they put all the artists’ names into a bucket and pull each one out at random!

Each artist then takes to the stage to perform three tracks of their choice, PLUS we had to freestyle with King Kash on piano and Tom Cox with our guitarist Izzy!!

We were also very lucky to be in the presence of two top music presenters i.e. ‘Carly Wilford’ from I am Music TV, and the lovely ‘James Sherwood’ from Afrobuzz.

It was a brill night..... Kiss Off performed ‘Try’ by Pink, plus two of our own songs ‘Kiss Goodbye’ and ‘Misfit.’

We hope to catch you at our next gig which is at the Bull and Gate for the Gold City Sounds launch, Friday 15th February - doors open at 7pm!

GOLD CITY SOUNDS: LAUNCH PARTY
Fri 15 Feb, 7pm: The Bull & Gate, Kentish Town, NW5 2TJ. £6 entry. The lineup:Vivid Nation, Canvas Wall Atoms, Ragamuffin, and Kiss Off. Find Gold City Sounds (goldcitysounds) on Facebook; also website, http://www.goldcitysounds.com.

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.
