THE KVB & SupportSure, Nicholas Wood and Kat Day from The KVB are annoyed to be constantly compared to The Jesus and Mary Chain and Cabaret Voltaire. But with their shimmering reverb guitars, the blurred vocals and the thin skeleton of the rhythm machine, they do little to hide their love for the first hour shoegazers. The KVB have released several albums on the label of Anton Newcombs, the singer of Brian Jonestown Massacre, another shadowy figure in rock music. The fact that Geoff Barrow from Portishead was kind enough to lend them some of his synthesizers and Sonic Boom from Spacemen 3 did the mastering are just a few more chocolates for indie rock fans who also read the small print. None of this should deter anyone from giving The KVB an unbiased listen. Last year, they released the album “Artefacts” - a fitting title, as this is what the Berliners-by-choice can do without batting an eyelid: create something new from found objects from rock history.https://zmi-live-phonogen.web.kup.tirol/Plone/de/blog/live-trips/the-kvbhttps://zmi-live-phonogen.web.kup.tirol/Plone/logo.png

Sicher nerven sich Nicholas Wood und Kat Day von The KVB schon gehörig, ständig mit The Jesus and Mary Chain und Cabaret Voltaire verglichen zu werden. Aber mit ihren flirrenden Hallgitarren, den verwehten Gesängen und dem dürren Skelett der Rhythmus-Maschine tun sie auch wenig dagegen, ihre Liebe zu den Shoegazern erster Stunde zu verbergen. Einige Alben haben The KVB auf dem Label von Anton Newcombs veröffentlicht, dem Sänger von Brian Jonestown Massacre, auch so einer Schattengestalt der Rockmusik. Dass Geoff Barrow von Portishead so freundlich war, ihnen einige seiner Synthesizer zur Verfügung zu stellen und Sonic Boom von Spacemen 3 das Mastering übernahm, sind nur ein paar weitere Pralinen für Indie-Rock-Fans, die auch das Kleingedruckte lesen. Das alles soll niemanden davon abhalten, The KVB ein unvoreingenommenes Ohr zu schenken. Letztes Jahr erschien von ihnen das Album "Artefacts" – ein passender Titel, ist es doch das, was die Wahlberliner ohne mit der Wimper zu zucken können: aus Fundgegenständen der Rockgeschichte Neues erschaffen.
