Hello everyone, you can check out our latest gigs and what were up to on our page The KDL movement started about five years ago when Big Steve the owner of a club called 'Come Down and Meet the Folks' asked Lewis to play a song with him as a floor spot. Just before the gig, Kitty sighted a drum kit and was eager to play. So when they played 'Folsom Prison Blues' with Lewis on the banjo, Kitty on the drums and Big Steve on the acoustic guitar, there was some idea of a band forming. Lewis and Kitty were asked to play again and this time Daisy wanted to play so she quickly learnt three chords on the accordion. They performed the same song 'Folsom Prison Blues'. At the time Kitty was eight, Lewis was ten and Daisy was twelve. They were then asked for the third time to play with Big Steve. On that gig they performed 'Mean Son of a Gun' with kitty playing the harmonica and singing, Lewis had his Gretsch for the first time and Daisy was hitting one drum and a hi-hat. When the harmonica solo came people knew the joint was rockin'. Little did they know that on the 20th of June 2005, they would be the first release on the 'Oof Record Company', releasing two songs called, 'Honolulu Rock and Roll' and 'Aloha Oe'. The record got good play on the radio and sold out in a short while. Kitty, Daisy and Lewis carried on doing gigs for the fun of it and then signed to Sunday Best and their new album is due to be released in January of 2008........................................................ ............................................................ ..........WE DREAMED AMERICA (trailer) ft Kitty, Daisy & Lewis |
