The Kays Lavelle

Originally an acoustic 2- piece from Dundee, Scotland, The Kays Lavelle ", play wistful acoustica and have been described as "dark and beautiful."  They released debut EP I Can't Believe You're Here in June ‘06 and since then have had the good fortune to play shows with the likes of iLiKETRAiNS, Kid Harpoon, The Wave Pictures, Make Model, FOUND, Meursault, Chris Difford, Her Name Is Calla, Glissando and others. Influenced in no small part by the facial hair of The Band and the step to the side and chop technique adopted by Daniel Larusso in Karate Kid I, they ventured into the world of film with a documentary about the making of the EP which was released by award winning Scottish film maker Matty "MJ" Ross in July '07 - www.sleepysoul.co.uk
The Kays Lavelle are currently working on plans for an album,

MEURSAULT  "Clasping together starry-eyed electronica with cotton-picking wreaths of banjo plucks and ukulele strums, their debut album Pissing On Bonfire/Kissing With Tongues is an unassuming triumph of glum-pussed Scottish charm that cradles its knees like a sombrely-lit fusion of Postal Service and King Creosote. Frontman Neil Pennycook's piping rasp is the cornerstone of this resplendent quartet - incoherent, insatiable and entirely indomitable - yet, so deep are the surrounding caveats of sensor-tingling phonics, it takes myriad spins to uncover his voluptuous drawl." - Drowned In Sound
