Kiely And The Minogues



http://www.myspace.com/kielyandtheminogues
A band of 5 spawned from the likes of Suffolk got together writing songs that started out as simple jokes that only the crowd of friends around of them would understand. Band members include: Josh Dickenson as the lead singer with his humourous vocals, Edward Kiely with the funky rhythm guitar riffs and backing vocals, Luke Giles with finger blistering solos (lead guitar), Will Jarmin with the never ending beats and Alex with the heart pounding bass.
They started out playing small concert events in school and even though the crowd didn't always quite understand what they were singing about.. they still couldn't help but love them.
After the continuous positive feedback and the demand for more, they progressively continued to write more and more, the band started to play other events and gigs, battle of the bands was probably the biggest event they have played at so far of which they came 2nd in- but music still remains a hobby for them.
So anyway after that event they decided to write an EP, with all their classics included- such as 'the emo song', 'high horse', etc..
Kiely and the Minogues are extremely funky yet extremely punky- also having a strong love for disney music.. (they do a great cover of Hakuna Matata)
The band want to be known as a happy band, with happy music, and believe me thats all your gonna get off of them.. the feeling of happiness with their humorous music which never fails to poke fun at someone, something, or anything and everything. They don't have any particular image or label really, they are just a group of friends having some fun, Im not actually sure if they are serious about taking music any further or not.. but i think the public would love them, they are just so original and the music is just fun to hear.
I'm so pleased to be able to say that they played a short set at my leaving party before i moved up to Scotland, however we already had a band playing, and well, i had only invited Josh, Ed, and Luke to the party, Alex and Will i didn't know too well. So i had invited a singer and 2 guitarists- and they managed to do an acoustic session of a few songs.. it was short, but it was worth it! A small gathering moved to next room (from where the other band had played.. to where KATM were playing) to check them out, everyone who watched them loved them, and im sure you will too!
Please check them out on their myspace http://www.myspace.com/kielyandtheminogues
They have 4 songs up from their EP, they sound pretty professional so please, check them out and let me know what you think- but make sure you listen to the lyrics even if you do end up getting on the table to dance to the funkyness!
My current favourite songs which are up on myspace at the moment are 'bumping uglies', 'the emo song' and 'high horse'.. (i also love 'Oi rude boy' but thats currently not up there at the moment)
ENJOY!
